I don't think this is a very popular take, but swipe keyboards are extremely common right now; I don't believe Apple had an ulterior motive here.

That would be believable if Apple allowed Flicktype and released their own version later. The fact that they blocked it does show ulterior motive.

At least it is suspicious in fact.

Apple blocked FlickType with the reason that full keyboards are not allowed on Apple Watch. Then they introduced their own. No ulterior motives?

but what is there to gain for Apple in this situation? it's not like it's a paid app

[IncRnd]

It's not a popular take, because you are ignoring the history of the situation that has been mentioned a large number of times on this page and in the article.

i insist, what is there to gain for Apple in this case? this is a free update even for older watches
