I guess the question I have is what features did Strava have for cycling which Garmin didn’t? My main sport is running so I’m coming at it from that angle.

I suspect the new training status stuff that’s been rolled out would likely be a good fit for cyclists, even those who haven’t purchased a power meter.

Garmin devices require a power meter to calculate training status for cycling. They can calculate other metrics like training load without a power meter.

Generally Garmin has much better features than Strava for setting up and executing a structured training plan, then analyzing your performance. But Strava has better social features. Many endurance athletes use both platforms. It's easy to create a free tier Strava account and automatically sync activities from Garmin to show your friends.
