There are scenarios for small mobile apps where creating a WebApi to
support it is overkill. I know you can "knock them up" in the Azure portal
pretty quickly, but there are times when just Azure tables or blobs along
with their very simple API could support a working app. So the question of
directly calling the Azure API (via the convenient Nuget package) remains a
mystery -- *GK*
