Upvoted because I find it interesting, not because I agree with it.
FreshBooks has a very significant amount of their usage/profit from their API. These are just their endorsed/vetted add-ons, let alone all the ones out there in the wild: http://community.freshbooks.com/addons/?header_addons=1 http://community.freshbooks.com/addons/?header_addons=1 and they clearly built an app AND an API.
The API for FreshBooks was a major portion of their (very successful) strategy, so I can't see why people can't do both, provided they do it intelligently.
