APIs (or SVCs, Ers, etc.) are good things. They provide a consistent interface between the application program and the OS. The actual number available should be taken with a grain of salt because you don't know if they count a single API with 3 major options as one API or three.
The preceding statement is true and accurate assuming that the APIs are part of a well-structured, secure, operating environment with prudent safeguards to protect the system from harm. Use only as directed. Consult your physician for additional information. Your mileage may vary.

And it was said (the APIs) as if it was a good thing.
