Please note that this article makes a crucial omission: this bill only applies to communication platforms With more than 100M users in the United States.

To my knowledge, only Facebook and Facebook messenger meet that threshold (please list others for which there is data supporting that they'd also be affected). So as it is, this bill would make Facebook offer APIs to it's services, but other services with less users in the United States won't have to.

Here's the relevant section of the bill:

(7) LARGE COMMUNICATIONS PLATFORM.—The term ‘‘large communications platform’’ means a product or service provided by a communications provider that — (A) generates income, directly or indirectly, from the collection, processing, sale, or sharing of user data; and (B) has more than 100,000,000 monthly active users in the United States.
