The double-tap gesture is something I was very excited about and have completely forgotten about since getting my watch. The caveats around what it takes to activate it (screen activated and facing vertically) are just so great, you wonder if anyone at Apple actually tried this and found it to be a better alternative to interacting with the screen. Their demo video actually does a perfect job of capturing just how ridiculously theatrical you have to be to get it to work: https://support.apple.com/guide/watch/use-double-tap-for-com...

Also not comparable to UUIDv7 because it isn't sortable

I'm most concerned about how they accomplished what's described here:

Apple says the fake Trezor app got through the App Store through "a bait-and-switch." It was called Trezor and used the Trezor logo and colors, but said that it was a "cryptography" app that would encrypt iPhone files and store passwords. The developer of the fake app told Apple that it was "not involved in any cryptocurrency." After the fake Trezor app was submitted, it changed itself into a cryptocurrency wallet, which Apple was not able to detect.

Decided to finally get onboard with Github sponsors and was dismayed to see this message:

"You'll be @babel's 13th sponsor, helping them reach their goal of $12,000 per month."

If a project as widely-used as babel can only attract 13 sponsors, this model is definitely broken
