Can’t have as much ads, distractions and other “engagement” features on a small screen.

Even the biggest Apple Watch screen is still tiny by any reasonable metric.

They aren't filling the extra space with "distractions", they are giving you space for an extra widget or two and making it marginally less painful to type.

I have had an Apple Watch for some time now, and have never once seen a single ad on it. As far as distractions I get only the notifications I want.
