When I go to the Lowe's website, the homepage itself is covered in ads. "Spring Into Deals", "Lowe's and Messi are assisting you with 100 points! Join Our Loyalty Program". "Get up to 35% off select major appliances"... the more I scroll, the more ads come up.

Your point about retailers exposing stock/aisle number via a public API surprises me. What do you mean by public? What's the EULA look like? Exposing stock/aisle number via API for the purpose of inventory management is not a use case that would require making API access public.
