Just sharing in case it's helpful to you. For someone like me, a feature rich API that can do nearly anything the UI can do is a major selling point and something that gets me to open my wallet. I am no doubt a niche case, but figured I'd share for what it's worth

We do believe having an API is valuable and a good selling point. It's also a great way to get an ecosystem to help us extend the product. Now it's also more responsibility to maintain compatibility. We want to be able to continue to upgrade services (in particularly cryptpad.fr). Apps using the API would need to continue to function or by security be locked out. This is a lot more work for the small team.
