Watch apps were definitely an interesting release. The first version of the Watch was extremely underpowered with a very limited SDK. I also think that Apple was trying to figure out what the Watch was for until version 3. Now it's actually useful.
As far as being deliberate, Apple has kinda always had botched software release since the iPhone. Steve Jobs touted web apps that you would bookmark as the way to build initial iOS apps until Apple released an SDK for the second iPhone. The iPad's software is finally coming into form with iOS 11. The Watch struggled for the first two versions. They seem to be on a pattern of — Try stuff, keep what works, throw away what doesn't.
