My point is very simple. You said "the more API coverage a platform can provide the better". I'm saying that's not true because it can create large long-term costs that outweigh the benefits. I even gave an example. I get why you as an API consumer want maximum surface area. But API producers often feel differently, and they have good reason to. I think the better general strategy for API producers is to open up gradually based on actual need discovered via dialog with community.
