I don’t see how the government could force any company to make a product that works on a competitor’s product (e.g. forcing Apple to make the Watch work on Android).
What I can see them doing is forcing Apple to allow the same level of access to APIs, sensors, etc. for competitors to be able to make their own integrations (e.g. publish the Watch protocols and allow third party apps to use them). Or to allow apps on the phone access to the same APIs, like allowing Tile to use the same APIs available to AirTags. There’s already precedent for that where Microsoft had to publish the SMB protocol so Samba could use it.
