I think android HealthConnect doesn't get enough notice as it is a kind of silent background service.

It is local, opt-in, and privacy respecting connection API for sharing data between fitness apps with fine control over what gets shared where. You can have the shittiest privacy-violating fitness app and it can't just steal all of the data from your smartwatch or whatever because you connect the two apps via a stupid cloud integration.
