Is this the whole story? Seems really at odds with Apple's strategy for Device Activity[1], available only as a first-party feature at first but in iOS 14 also becoming available as an API to third party apps.
I see a parallel between a journaling app and HealthKit[2], where the latter is like basically a health and exercise journal for things like step counts[3] and medications[4]. It could follow a similar trajectory and eventually be made available as an API to third-party apps.
