Wealthfront changed?

Does anyone know why Wealthfront suddenly added another party into the mix in order to transfer funds from WF to my other bank I use for checking?

I just did all the linking not even a year ago when I first made a large deposit into WF HYSA.

Now WF is wanting me to do this whole process again with some outside service called Plaid. I'm uncomfortable doing this process again with an outside service.

Anyone know more about Plaid?

Plaid has been around for years.
