It's purely anecdotal. Nothing meaningful.

Did these people even own Fitbits in the first place? Have they even been using them recently? How many have actually thrown them away?

It's representative of nothing.

Much news relies on anecdotes. Some of which are anonymous (aka unsubstantiated) while still involving issues higher stakes. Media is about clicks and influence.
