Science is systematic, evidence‑based inquiry into the natural world that produces testable explanations and predictions, and a core part of calling something “scientific” is that its claims are replicable by others.

That means, if a large part of iNaturalist's ongoing activity (which they are sheltering from government taxation under a public interest Science claim) is refining an inference model offered only as a service, it's not capital-S Science unless they make the model build path open and others can replicate and test it freely.

There's actually a fair case that it's the exact opposite, as a public encouragement to systemic ignorance and belief without evidence.
