Why would you want an Apple Watch without an iPhone?

Most of the benefits are because the ecosystem is tightly integrated. I expect that there isn't a large enough market and it so happens to lock people into their other products. I haven't tried using my Air Pods on an Android phone, but they work perfectly fine on my Steam Deck (Linux).

Same reason I have a MacBook without an iPhone.

Here is how I’d convert you: Open your phone copy some text, open your MacBook, paste that text.

I don’t don’t do it a lot, but it’s the best.

		I discovered that feature by accident while doing some testing with an iOS device, and found it concerning. IIRC it wasn't too difficult to disable, but it really should be opt-in.

		That works between Android and Windows too. You just need to be signed using the same Microsoft account in both devices, and enable clipboard sync. And yeah, it's kinda useful sometimes.
