All websites had all incentives to be api-first for 2 decades now.

They aren't API first not because they can't - but because customers will use whatever GUI website supports to use it.

Unless your product has no value - users will fill out those forms manually if you don't provide API if they need your product.

Agents don't change this.

They do, for the simple reason that I don't want to have to click through forms and pages and hunt things down manually to do a workflow. I won't use a cloud provider with a broken or half-functional cli for this reason, and if anybody in any space provides a better agent interface for doing stuff so I don't have to click through UIs, I will switch pretty much instantly.

Think of agent support sort of like food delivery. Once people get used to the convenience, places that don't offer it are at a huge disadvantage.

You will if they have what you need and others don't
