AFAIK they do in some places where realtime data is available under and open license and in an acceptable format, e.g. in Switzerland. shameless plug: I build a tool that polls VBB's (or any other compatible) API and produces a GTFS-Re

Just speculating here, but they still have a Back-to-my-Mac-like feature: The HomePod allows for remote access to things in your home WiFi, e.g. IoT devices. As IP addresses of home routers change often enough, this might be a use case for
