Is it not reasonable to demand interoperability for one of the main methods of communication in the entire world? Forcing a specific standard is problematic, but it would be reasonable to ask any communication service to provide a fully documented and public API with features and access equal to the features and access of the official application. Random nerds make integrations to whatever application/protocol is in vogue, business still gets to have complete freedom in where their take their API and thus their product. --- I would even go as far as to say that every web-service should be machine-consumable in that fashion, but that's beyond the point.
