Before this used to be the norm, there would be at least a quarterly post on HN by some app developer lamenting the fact that Apple killed their business by just releasing an Apple developed version of their app.

I don't know for sure, but I assume that Apple's app was released as soon as the functionality was enabled on the relevant devices (Apple Watch 6 and 7). I don't think this is a case of 'Sherlocking'.
