Its worth clarifying you are talking about the data on the phone app, which does require connectivity as nothing is stored on the phone app, its all on Garmin's servers.

However, most if not all of the data (recorded activities or health data) can be viewed directly on your watch, without any connectivity.

I have a lot of experience working with the Garmin API. The data you can see on the recording device (watch) is limited and basically worthless. Akin to looking at a raw csv full of data rather than nicely plotted over a map.
Why can’t it be also cached on the phone though?
