It's true that creating a watch that means you don't have to take your phone out of your pocket isn't as "worthy" as solving world hunger.
But that's true of the vast majority of modern human activity. If we only ever spent our time on creating/doing things that are at least as worthy as solving world hunger, we wouldn't be making pretty much any form of consumer electronics, any clothing beyond the most basic required to survive, playing any sports/games, or creating any art/films/music/books, or satirical podcasts.
If we've jumped the shark by focusing on our personal non-essentials before worrying about the basic needs of the rest of humanity, then we did it a long, long time before this watch came along.
