It didn’t need to request the coordinates, it should allow me to just pick a city in the world from a list and give me the local weather based on that.
It is a design choice to force you to always stay connected and, in my opinion, is very shady. It’s okay if you wish you assume innocence here, I personally cannot.
Yeah nah that makes sense. I've got a weather integration in Home Assistant and chose to add relatively accurate coordinates for the API calls. That at least was entirely under my control, whereas their implementation was "use it this way or not at all", demanding location access or no weather.
