I do wonder why they execlusively got it, and others (who must have had similar rendering issues) did not.

Presumably because they were a headlining launch app for the Apple Watch and were in the keynote.

Wasn’t Lyft also showcased at that event?

Also, how do they still have it if it’s not needed? First cardinal rule of elevated privileges is to immediately give them up when no longer used.

Apple Watch Series 0 is possibly still not capable of rendering maps quickly and has to rely on a companion device. I guess Apple would have to leave this entitlement for Uber until the Watch Series 0 reached end of life five years after last selling them. Which would be quite the security risk.

You sure? I think that was fixed with a WatchOS update (probably 2, but certainly by 3).
