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

What? There are plenty of third party weather apps on iOS. I’m not sure if iOS has those sticky Daemon notifications that Android has though, I don’t think I’ve ever seen them.
There are widgets though, both for the Home Screen and the Lock Screen, as well as little widgets for the watch if you have one of those.
Modern iOS is quite polished. Android could use a touch up with their widgets honestly.
