I wish legislation was pushing for open APIs.

I know many people push for interoperability, but that is a very hard problem. Open APIs are easy; I should be able to write e.g. my own Slack client, for my specific platform.

It is not a problem that there exists an (official) ElectronJS Slack app. The problem is that I am forced to use it. And what does it bring to Salesforce, except an opportunity to add telemetry in the app? With an open API, they would still make companies pay 5$ per account per month.

I believe that open APIs would enable better clients for popular services.
