Exactly. Locking basic services behind apps should be illegal. Services must be accessible to everyone.

same goes for the weather app ...

(context: some years ago they locked the publicly-funded german weather service's API, so common people can't access it anymore. you need to use a spam-ridden app to access it now.)

They sometimes hand out codes "to be used only by firefighters and paramedics, wink wink".
