"Our analysis reveals a bifurcated ecosystem: one of smaller apps and services that leverage or improve on interoperable systems and another of larger platforms that attempt to offer paradigm-shifting innovations, but that to some extent also undermine interoperability and externalize certain costs to users. We conclude that in designing competition policy, policymakers should not focus on whether interoperability encourages or discourages innovation, but on what kind of innovation it introduces, and how interoperability might impact all relevant stakeholders."
An interesting argument (and a paper). I also pointed out recently the issue of "centralization and concentration through AI APIs".
There is also a related argument that the demands for interoperability may endanger security (E2E in particular), but I think it is speculative and partially politically motivated.
