In terms of our fictional example, we should ask ourselves: why provide a service to developers, allowing for brewing coffee to end users, instead of just making an app? In other words, there must be a solid reason to split two software development domains: there are the operators which provide APIs, and there are the operators which develop services for end users. Their interests are somehow different to such an extent, that coupling these two roles in one entity is undesirable. We will talk about the motivation to specifically provide APIs in more detail in Section III.
