Why are there so few open source weather apps for iOS, compared to the very many that are on Android?

Apple bought darksky and has been integrating all of the technology into their app so it is becoming the best one without having to bother looking for another. You have to be a super weather nerd to even want to bother looking for something else. I happen to be that much of a weather nerd and use a third party app. There’s tons of them in the App Store.
I saw they use some british Weather stuff? I just always assume these models are way worse than something like DWD in Germany. Thats why I currently use a KleineWettervorschau, an app for the DWD but not by them, as they had stupid legal problems as they, as a state institution, have an app without Ads, wow crazy.
