"Meanwhile, complaints about Google cited APIs that had been shut down or were missing." So the quality of Google APIs is based, in part, on missing ones? I am not sure I understand. I can understand that API integration can cost time, and if Google decides to terminate an API project then that work is basically thrown away. But that doesn't reflect on the quality of Google's APIs, it reflects on the flakiness of Google as an API provider. Also, "voting down" their API quality for not having APIs that the developers want hardly seems fair either. P.S. Using API so many times in a comment is probably a great start for a tongue-twister.
