The other reason is that with the acquisition of WOW and their data feed,
that Omega wants to own that end too. Everything will be proprietary Omega.
Opening up the API is not consistent with their own the world strategy.

An understanding of the "why" of this is easy to understand when you realize
that OR receives a "royalty" from the data providors who have an authorized
interface with OR products.
We not only pay for the programs, we pay everytime we access data, but of
course
that is not disclosed BEFORE we buy.!!!
