This is why it's important to license FOSS projects under the (A)GPL, rather than the MIT license. It makes it far less profitable for companies to steal your ideas/code, and ensures that anything based on your work will put users first.

They didn’t copy the code, just the APIs and ideas.

In another words, if ideas were copyrighted, GNU/Linux wouldn’t exist.

Well, as the law stands now, due to Google v Oracle, APIs are copyrighted. Hopefully the Supreme Court will fix that in the coming months (they’ve agreed to hear the case), but, as of now, that’s the law.
