Sounds like they didn’t try very hard.
I can believe it, because of how integrated everything is at Apple. You probably need to bring a lot of iCloud support over (App Store, backups, apis), but that may also require supporting applications and configurations
It’s based on a specific piece of hardware in the iPhone called the Secure Enclave that basically keeps all of your PHI in a place that nobody but you can get it. It doesn’t transfer when you get a new phone, for instance, and has to be recreated. I’m betting that an Android app involved some sort of emulator, performance was awful, and they gave up.
Garmin smartwatches are good, support both Apple and Android and have their own App Store store for the watches that works with both mobile OS platforms.
It’s not clear what critical features couldn’t work for Apple on Android.

Garmin makes the best purpose-built smartwatches around. If you run, climb, hike, or golf a lot there isn’t a better device for you.

It might be true, anything they have released outside their walled garden is pure crap, iTunes for Windows, Music for Android…
It just doesn’t work
One one hand, ye ye old java dalvik
On the other hand, proprietary Apple
