This is inaccurate.

Google's primary source for their knowledge graph is semi-structured data on
web pages, not APIs. Notably, that claim 1200M "facts" (of which 8% have "high
confidence") extracted by understanding web page DOM structure. That compares
to 140M "facts" from human annotations on web pages, with 0.2% high confidence
(ie, "semantic web").

Given that the premise of your point is wrong it seems your conclusions are
likely to be too.

My point is that the semi structured content that makes up theses web pages is
being parsed out and displayed directly alongside search results. The parsed
DOM is used as a defacto API, killing the need to provide any layout
information whatsoever and killing page views, too. If this continues, many
content providers (like lyrics sites) could transition to an information-
serving model (API focused) and just forget about layout altogether.
