Is the weather data supplied as open source, with a requirement that any products that uses it must be similarly open??? A lot of this data comes from NASA. If this is the case, any map maker with a fee basis might not want to give their work product away with that sort of strings on it??
I’m not sure what you mean specifically but if you zoom to a reasonably small area in Apple Maps it does show the current weather conditions for that area, in the bottom right corner.
