Why so many different devices? (Assuming this is the only reason there could be this much sprawl)

Device based strength tracking is still so weird to me.

Have you seen that meme template, where the midwit wants to use a thousand complicated things to optimize their experience, but the grug and the genius both keep it simple?

I think this is a perfect example... somewhere out there a genius and a grug are happily exercising together for the simple joy of doing so and feeling good in their bodies, and nearby is a midwit with the GDP of a small village worth of wearable electronics wondering where the joy has gone as he laments the 0.1% of VO2MAX he's dropped since his last gadget-run.
