Yes because iPhones have ✨magic chips✨ inside which only Apple has... I'm pretty sure the apple watch communicates with Bluetooth. Apple just deliberately shuts Android out.

Apple originally looked into it but decided not to because they wanted to maintain their ecosystem. Same story as usual.

I have no idea why the above guy seems to think that Apple watches work on androids

It doesn't work on Android, I know that. But I'll bet you 1000€ that Apple could enabled cross-platform compatibility with an OTA update.
