Tom Scott made a wonderful video a while back about open APIs, and about how they (mostly) died out[0]. It's currently called "This Video Has 51,973,714 Views", and I personally believe it's a great watch.

APIs are more popular than ever. But developers in a weird way aren’t involved. Go look at tools like Tray, Boomi, Zapier, Integromat. They let business users use APIs to connect all their applications without wiring code.
