My "internal perceptions", as you called them, was based on Apple's history. Not any Apple hate. The fact that they are opening something up is very cool, I'm glad to hear it. But a single open API does not address an overall very closed ecosystem.

Funny how people will state ‘facts’ that match their internal perceptions, regardless of what’s been publicly stated over and over again.
Apple has released the WeatherKit API, which is privacy-first, and pretty much provides what Dark Sky did.
