Do you feel this happens when companies recommend teams/services interact primarily through APIs? Put another way, have you seen API-first show up primarily as a result of that kind of recommendation?

No. Teams interacting via APIs seems like a completely reasonable approach to me.

Why have you seen people choose an API-first approach?

Because they feel this will finally give common structure to their IT; because they believe it will make them faster; because analysts or vendors told them they need to do it
