It is not true that WU doesn't let you download your own data. The confusion is that you can't download data the old way with a .csv download file. The new way to download your own data is to use an API key that you can generate under your account setting. Then you must use this new API method to download your data. There is even a WeeWX extension to use this new method that has been created.
The reason for this change is that before anyone could download any amount of data and there were no controls to limit bandwidth usage. With the new API key method you are limited in the amount of bandwidth you can use on a monthly basis. This limits bandwidth abuse and it allows WU to better run their servers and reduce costs. If you are a business and you were previously downloading tons of data from WU, then those efforts have been blocked. You'll now have to purchase a commercial license in order to continue to download the amounts of data that you were before. You could say that a few bad apples with their abuse ruined the simplicity of the previous .csv download method. There were a few years where WU servers were hardly ever up. Sure things are not still perfect with WU but they certainly are a lot better than they were before these controls were implemented.
