Allowing devs to focus on the core-product instead of CMS infrastructure is a big time/money saver. This is the value prop for most all API-first services: Stripe, Twilio, Algolia. Why would you build your own "free" payments processing / telephony / search service when these focused services have done a really good job solving the problem for you?

Because all of those are hard, and CRUD is easy?

I mean, I see your point. I’m just not convinced it’s enough given the availability of a thousand other (free-ish) solutions.
