On top of the lack of integration support, the MyQ app used to open garage doors is full of advertisements. It's ridiculous. I regret buying their products.
As discussed elsewhere in the thread, it seems that this would be the number two reason, the number one being trying to be the only service that can profit from in-garage deliveries.
Actually, some other commentator statet, that when he's about to open/close his garage door, he opens the official app and where there's been a "open/close" button is now a video ad and to reach the button, you have to scroll the screen until you reach it.
I would try to sue that manufacturer. I hope it we'll be pulled to a court.
To some extent, serving ads is like owning a money printer. I can't really get upset that everyone wants to own a money printer. I just hope that there is a backlash against ads someday, where they start having a negative effect. "Oh, Toyota is constantly advertising in my garage door app? I'm going to buy a Ford instead." People say that the US government defaulting on its debt would be the end of the world, but the real end of the world is one where advertisements stop working!
As far as I can tell, fwiw, the ads are all cross sells for chamberlain products so there isn’t an impression based revenue stream, just conversions.
