The fossil fuel industry denied climate change was happening at all for a long time after the term was being used by scientists.

It’s because the “fact” the the fossil fuel industry coined the term climate change is false.

This is the preferred term by scientists, and it has been since before “global warming” became a term.

Politicians and publications that acknowledge the climate crisis should probably start using that term instead of climate change then.

Also don’t you get a pop up on iOS when apps actually try to do one of these things? Like I have weather apps that clearly say that track my location, but it still gives a pop up asking to use your location when you actually start using it.

Hopefully that means they’ll start giving me better rates!

I wouldn’t say obsolete because that implies it’s not really used anymore. Most websites and apps still use validation not too dissimilar from the OP, even if it goes against the latest best practices.

Easier doesn’t mean better though.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they are working on something now and just wanted to get the app out as an mvp.

That is likely a benefit but let’s be honest the real reason is that a web version would require a lot of additional overhead especially to staff enough engineers.
