I think legislation demanding most tools have an API would be a good thing. Not 'tho shalt expose a REST endpoint'. But instead something like 'every operation a user can do with this tool, they also need to be able to trigger with an interface that is programable, and that interface needs to be documented'. Saying 'our programable interface is the gui, use autohotkey' is fine, as long as you properly document all click regions. This would be a massive productivity boost to anyone using such tools. It would also be great for disabled people.
