None of the other tools uses that amount of data. What makes FSGRW unique is the fact that we compose the weather in a cloud-based system, so our weather server collects the data (lower and upper air, METARs, other weather reports, cloud types, icing, turbulence data, SIGMETs etc), feeds an atmospheric model with it and creates a weather file that will be downloaded by the client application. Most of the data sources we consume are the ones actually used by real world airlines or flight planning solution providers. In addition to that, METARs don't provide cloud types and will (sometimes) only report cloud layers up to MSA or 5.000 feet, whichever is higher. We just don't stick to METARs alone, since they don't tell you the whole truth (or do you really think 9999 is the exact visibility for 90 % of weather stations out there?). We don't have more data than real pilots have. So they have access to data better than the one real pilots have? Hmmmm.
