> If I type "<city> weather" google will show me the weather, but which weather company has shutdown because of that?

I don't know the answer to your (rethorical?) question but what I know is that weather sites and apps were once nice and useful and now are basically a placeholder for advertisement, sometimes even scammy one.

If you’re in the market for a replacement, I like yr.no. It’s a little more graphically polished than weather.gov, but no ads.

Although it is a joint project between the Norwegian Meteorological Institute and Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation, it has forecasts available for the whole world in English, Norwegian, and Danish.

This. Google doesn’t have to knock them out of business entirely to ruin them.
