I think a watch is indeed a better 'companion' for people that want to detox from screentime. I do find Apple is hesitant to make it act as a primary driver. I find myself needing my iPhone too much for my liking. Hopefully this will change in the future.

I want the connectivity, I just don't want to... - carry 2 devices. - have a media consumption device with me all the time

I imagine the profit on a Watch dwarfs that from an iPhone, so they're leery to kill the golden goose.

And they've prioritized iPhone >> MacBook, so they're likely not interested in encouraging watch + laptop uses.
