I'm happy it's locked down. I don't want crappy apps accessing my emails

  That's pure BS. You can still access those e-mails through SMTP. For example, if I extract OGuth2 app information from Thunderbird, then I could theoretically make another user authenticate against Thunderbird's app and then ex-filtrate all of their Gmail data. Gmail API is blocked for purely political reasons. E.G. real-time delivery of e-mails which is not accessible through non-Gmail clients.
