The problem with Google+ (API Edition)

The third-party app issue is not as big a problem if you use Android. You are able to share pretty much anything with the Google+ app, it's just not automatic.<p>And given how the first few weeks of "frictionless sharing" was, I'm kinda glad I don't have that many people spamming me with content more suitable for Twitter.

Is this not simply the same reason the Facebook API does not allow you to send messages to users: spam prevention?<p>I prefer G+ right now because it has a low spam ratio, unlike my Facebook feed, so if this is the reason for disallowing write access, I align with it.
