Seems pretty clear why the apis were shut down for apps
They were transparent about it. AI and gatekeeping the user generated comments was the deciding factor to close the API and that's what they told the public.
I can’t remember if the word at the time was that they were trying to stop the calls from affecting performance or they wanted the juicy data all for themselves
