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.)

At the very least you can still pay a small one-time fee for the DWD WarnWetter app (or enter a code for firefighters).

Best 3€ I've ever spent purely out of spite, even if the reason behind it is complete BS.
