Not entirely sure I understand your point in the context of APIs. For sites and apps, sure there is a non-logged in state, but securing applications is a whole other topic with its own unique concerns :).

For APIs, even free ones, the vast majority now require at least some form of sign up and auth to prevent abuse or misuse.
