tbh I kinda understand their viewpoint. Not saying I agree with it.
The Anubis JavaScript program’s calculations are the same kind of calculations done by crypto-currency mining programs. A program which does calculations that a user does not want done is a form of malware.

Won’t the bots just hammer the API instead now?

As someone who’s worked at big tech companies, my guess would be that storing so many people’s location history was flagged as an issue during a privacy audit.
It’s entirely local now. You can enable encrypted backups and back up the data, however you can really only have the data on one device now, and the web version is gone.
