Yes. I agree with all your observations below. And that's only
the tip of the iceberg.

I guess it's just the usual case with webshops. Inexperienced
developers, tight schedules, no time for refactoring. People
just doing their job. You get what you pay for. Well, in the
case of published APIs, the hapless integrator also pays.

Best,

Michael
