It is relevant because most people on the planet are not like you.
Most people on the planet use Apple, Google or indeed both.
Meanwhile, services such as the one Mozilla used to offer cost time and money to maintain. There's servers to maintain, software to maintain, CDN bills to pay.
If your user base is effectively a bunch of die-hard anti-Apple, anti-Google people, then its not worth the time or effort.
We are afterall, talking about location services here, not e.g. email where sure there's a market for non-Apple, non-Google.
For location services in 2024 there is little reason for people to not use what their device comes with, frankly.
- seba_dos1 3y agoAh, okay. So you have no idea what you're talking about and don't care about what we're discussing here then, thanks for clarifying. There are devices that don't come from Apple or Google at all that rely on MLS and need a location service, regardless of whether you believe it's worth the effort or not.
