OK, I don't mean to say that every G+ user wants this, mind you. But that a substantial number do is pretty obvious by the posts to the ticket about this, and observing how people interact with other, similar social networks. Does anybody really think that people wouldn't like to be able to use TweetDeck (or whatever) with G+? Or programatically interface with G+ from their blog, or whatever? I may ultimately be proven wrong, but I'd be shocked it a proper study did not show strong demand for a write API.
