Doesn't Yahoo power the weather app, making that point meaningless?

Also, how does this make these companies "losers"? Competition is good for business, and the businesses that are in place and have current user bases will win out if they have better (or even on-par) products.

All the data from the Yahoo weather app comes from a YQL query. Anyone can use the same query to get all the same information.
