Sounds like apple created it as a hack and granted the permission to Uber as a workaround to get Uber's watch app out of the door. Chances are they granted it to other apps to. Then apple forgot to remove the premission after it was obsolete. (Either apple created an alternative method that had no security issues, or Uber had more time to create a implementation that rendered the map on the watch.)
