      Welcome to where this was inevitably all going to go eventually. The entirety of commercial personal computing is going this direction: locking down APIs to make sure you’re not only doing what the company wants, but also the way the company wants. Mobile phones provide countless examples already; applying those examples to LLM world isn’t far fetched - and Anthropic already started down the road of “any old agent isn’t OUR agent” months ago.
