I've seen this lots. Niantic doesn't like guerrilla clients for their games, the car companies hate independent clients to query car status and do remote control, etc etc. It’s super-interesting because there are no really effective technical ways to stop this kind of thing, so there are very interesting legal questions, both of to-be-established case-law and enforceability.
