"helped" is very misleading. Companies can't refuse to provide information they have when served a search warrant / court order. These companies DID NOT choose to provide the info on their own.

Doubt it is a watch issue, only started when the Bluetooth bug started with Graphene OS
The update did not fix the issue for me. Using a Pixel 6a with Graphene OS and a Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Pro. The watch had been working just fine with Graphene OS until the recent OS changes.
Since the most recent update, nothing really improved. The watch had to be factory reset in order to get it to connect the the phone via Bluetooth. That worked for less than 5 hours and it lost connection to the phone and would not reconnect.
Still the only way to get it to reconnect it to factory reset the watch and re-pair it to the phone. Since that connection still only lasts less than 5 hours (sometimes on an hour or so), I'm tired of doing that and have quit wearing the watch.
Well, when they have fake user data and can't access any data from others apps...it means more than nothing.
The app sandboxing in Graphene is the perfect place to use them. All you need is the Galaxy Wear app. Maybe Samsung Health, but I think that is optional.
Along with the protections built into Graphene, I use an always on VPN; and 99% of my accounts use unique email addresses, usernames, and passwords for each account.
Has it fixed it? I shut off my Galaxy Watch 5 Pro since I had to reset and re-pair it multiple times a day. Now I'm on vacation and didn't even bring it with me.
Yeah, and despite three or four OS updates the last few days...it is still an issue.
I'm still having Bluetooth issues. My Wear OS device looses connection and it can only establish a connection again by resetting the watch and pairing it again. However this only lasts about an hour then it looses connection again.

Download and installed but it still insists on a phone number. I don't see a way to bypass.
All cameras and data collection CAN be abused. Is there any evidence that this HAS been abused?
As someone who has worked fraud and online investigations, and both written and served search warrants; it is not an option. A probable cause affidavit is presented to a judge and if the judge agrees there is sufficient probable cause, a search warrant is issued. This is an order by the judge and not optional. The judge can hold the company in contempt if they refuse to obey his/her order.
