Why unified APIs aren't the right option

"More complex use cases aren't fully possible using Merge. This has meant that our integrations can only accomplish so much before we would have to consider building our own custom API. We have also spent considerable time writing custom passthrough requests for fields that don't quite fit with the common model."
