But commenters here want that right? They're rilling up against an API that allows data export and user ownership and demand that they're removed and all interoperability to be killed because "users are too stupid". This cements and entrenches monopolies because noone is allowed to compete or interoperate.

In sense, things like Apple Mail is a problem for them because it uses full access to GMail account to extract private data over API.
