If a developer makes an API and it becomes popular on Micro, what prevents Micro from cloning that API and cutting the dev out of the proceeds?

Looking at it another way. I worked on open source for many years. Seeing what AWS has done to open source projects, it's a really dishonourable thing and while I get they're running a business I think there were better ways to go about it than just lifting a project and running it themselves. So for us it's really about building a trustworthy business that empowers individual devs and small teams. And you can't do that if you try to cut out the people who got you to where you wanna go.
In a similar vein, how much visibility does micro API bring to my API compared to established platforms? Even assuming it's a lot, why not just publish my API on all of them?
