Surely not, but Apple could have worked on integrating and participating to the development of an open source software for the Apple watch.
In another world, MeeGo[1] would have take off and we would use it on every smartphones (no iOS/Android incompatibility), every car systems, every tablets, every smart watches and everything would work seamlessly. Hardware manufacturers would concentrate on hardware and we would be able to buy the hardware we want and it would connect every devices we already own.
