I think API specs are a wrong problem to solve. It’s usually pretty easy to reverse engineer an API requests and responses from a frontend or network log. What’s hard and what an OpenAPI (or any API, but machine-readable specs tend to suffer most) spec would be typically missing is the documentation about all the concepts and flows for using this API in a meaningful manner.
