kinda unrelated but huawei wants you to upload your ID AND bank account details just to gain access to local data available on your own watch.

there are ways around it tho, one of the prs for Gardgetbridge includes full support for huawei devices, and of course you could use that and documentation that was created during it's development to pull data via Bluetooth directly (without using the proprietary Huawei SDK)

Wait what. What is their reasoning behind this? It kinda feels like it won't hold ground in a lot of countries either

well you need access to the developer account in order to use the Health SDK, which also includes access to their app store so of course the verification process is pretty rigorous.
you also need an app published on appgallery (even if not publicly available) in order to use most apis, even if they just interact with local devices
