If Steemit adds an API for 3rd party apps like Wordpress / Android / Etc, Steem network growth would likely explode fairly quickly. For instance, with a Steemit.com API it would only take a few lines of code hooked into Wordpress's publish_post action hook to have a new Wordpress post also be published on the Steem network. No joke, it's so easy to do with an API in Wordpress it's crazy.
