Seems a weird take, they are making it sound like what3words, it's just another option, it doesn't stop the use of grid references or co-ordinates. It has other issues like using similar words or plurals within a close distance so can send you to the wrong place if not communicated correctly but not sure the argument its a private company therefore bad stacks up. And the argument of is your phone charged, is just the same for someone who only carries a GPD device. Not sure too many people want to be pulling out an OS map to find a location near Kilburn station.

Reading that sounds like someone is buttsore
It's very simple: it's a closed system. So their company own the database of words which are mapped to locations and this is not Open Data so the only way of mapping three words to a location, or vice versa, is through their company and its servers.
So what if its closed...
Sheesh
