Interesting perspective on aggregators, especially the point about simplifying integrations. What’s often underestimated is how much aggregators impact user experience indirectly. It’s not just about connecting providers through a single API — it’s about how fast and consistent those integrations perform under real conditions. In practice, platforms that rely on well-optimized aggregation layers tend to deliver smoother interactions and better retention, simply because they reduce friction across the entire system. It would also be interesting to explore how performance metrics (like latency or failure rates) differ between direct integrations and aggregated setups.
