What I don’t understand is that they had the option of providing a free service to all third party apps provided there was no commercial use.

They could have easily asked for a cut from any AI company using their data for training.

    Not only did they have the option, as I understand it the API was even configured as such since all requests from an app shared the same API key. They're basically whitelisting like this now but only for the accessibility oriented 3rd party apps.
