"ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION (For Android 10 and above): our service needs this permission to provide you with the latest and most accurate local weather information, and you can use Weather Notifications, Widgets, Lock Screen, Weather Alerts features, even if the app is closed or not in use. ...

This means that your app can continue to run in the background and use battery power, even when the device is in a low-power state."

A weather app collects the full list of installed applications and requests permission to bypass battery optimization, allowing it to run persistently in the background — both excessive for core weather functionality.
