Let’s not go all draconian here. Copyrighting APIs just means you need approval from the original owning entity to do interoperability. Which again comes down to licensing. Why should the creator not own what they create and why should others not be forced to seek approval or license to use it? You might say “but the purpose of APIs is integration! How can they sue people for using it for integration?” But it seems obvious that they would be able to sue people using Oracle DB without license even if they are using it for its intended purpose.
