Right, but that still means Garmin (and others) are effectively locked out of 50% of the market.
Apple watch still remains the best selling watch of all times, not just smart watch, but of all watches.

But if Garmin isn’t killing it today, opening the iPhone won’t let them kill it tomorrow.
I see lots of Apple Watches. I see some Google/Samsung watches. I don’t think I’ve seen a Garmin watch. So I don’t think it’s fair to claim Apple’s policy is the only thing holding them back from being a dominant player.
