Why bother putting so much time and effort to release something this bad?

Because the executive committee has no understanding of why they need a "good" API, and no appetite for the difficult journey they need to embark on to create one, but they just have to do "something", and they're happy with "anything". That's my bet.

The largest player in the market just entered the API arms race, years late and with pockets deeper than any of their rivals. Yet two brothers from Ireland are still the best game in town.
