Whats the incentive for these apps to make clips available? Why wouldn't the parking app you hate just keep forcing people to install it, likely to track and report as much data as possible as an additional revenue stream.

Not every audience is captive. If Lyft offered this and Uber didn't, it might be a subtle push for me to prefer the former. Or maybe even walk/bike if neither adopts it.

Competition: if enough apps will implement it, it would become a standard user expectation.
