You'd have to ask Apple. Probably because they just want to sell more watches

Well Apple Health is an open API that anyone can integrate with. So I'd assume Whoop either A) doesn't want to be modularized, or B) has a data format that doesn't fit with Apple's specification for some good reason.

Oh interesting. I stand corrected then!

I'd guess 2 things:

1) From the less-than-stellar quality of Whoop's app, their data is probably differently formatted and they don't want to bother

2) They want you to stay in their app and use their algos to manage your health data as opposed to Apple's, which they can't control.

Or probably people have become vary of companies like Apple and Amazon who are very focused on vertical integration at the cost of killing off the business of their partners. Spotify had to spend decade to reach critical mass of users for it to reach profitability. Apple Music got their much sooner because Apple was able to push it as the default music app.
