Meanwhile Garmin watches users (like me) are wondering how it is that syncing my watch that I have bought with an application on my smartphone that I have bought requires presence of some distant online service.

You really wonder that? I'm sorry, how stupid are you? It's obviously to harvest data and control users. We've been warning and educating people about this for decades. When are you guys starting to wake up and voting with your wallet? Open services! Open software! Open formats! Own your data! Own your devices! Your life will be full of such disruptions if you keep using products that let corporations dominate you.
