Maybe if the UX was nicer, you wouldn't need to write scrapers and parsers and could just use their site.

We don't need a bloated React framework to show a plaintext file with the fuel tank levels. It's NOAA, not Microsoft.

They're scraping to automatically update the wallpaper on their desktop. That's not something a website can do, even with fantastic UX.

Actually, I used to have a live-updating website AS MY BACKGROUND. Windows 98 and Me, website used AJAX and Comet to make it happen.

You used to be able to set websites as your desktop background.
