It's pretty damning of the HealthKit product team that a post like this is required. Why would Apple publish the app at all?
It seems like they should have released iOS8 with some kind of simple pedometer/stair counting app that looked good and was easy to use, like a reference application to show what HealthKit could be used for, and then buried the HealthKit app as it currently stands in some settings menu that most people will never need to look at.
The only thing I can imagine is that they intended to roll out a bunch of HealthKit-compatible apps from third parties like Nike and FitBit along with iOS8, but the bug messed up their release plan.
