Just to respond seriously for a second: it's good to remind ourselves that ML isn't magic. If it knew your weight and age it would use those for predicting life expectancy instead. Same for smoking history, sleep habits, etc. But all it has access to is the accelerometer, and a weak correlation is better than nothing, so that's what it uses.

If you think about it, bad ML (or your words: "...ML isn't magic.") is just as bad, if not worse, than infallible ML.
