Assuming this is true, why did it happen? Presumably Apple is using the same data feeds and backend as Dark Sky? Or are they missing something?

I don't think that's a safe assumption. The effect was immediate and noticeable. I've seen other posts in this thread after I said this that suggested this was a cost savings measure.

From using the Apple Weather app, I didn’t get the feeling that Apple Weather actually adopted much of the guts of Dark Sky, even though Apple promised to do so.
