Why can't LC do what PencilCase does?

A few questions:

1.  "upload it to their system": well, who are 'they'?

2. "Anyone can install the PencilCase iOS app": really? I'll try on my 
G3 iMac running Mac OS 9.

2.1. "Anyone can install the PencilCase iOS app": really? I'll try on my 
iPad 1.

Your "anyone" is about as good as Marie Antoinette's "Let them eat cake".

WHY should LC be able to do "that:? The whole thing looks awfully 
restrictive
and end-users (apart from being dependent on a iPad) need to install 
PencilCase.

Now LC can distribute STANDALONES to all sorts of platforms.

To my mind LC looks like a better bet.
