The 15 million number for MacBook Pros sold seems fishy since Apple sold less than 20 million total Macs. Unless all sales of MacBook Airs, MacBooks, iMacs, Mac Minis and MacPros combined are less than 5 million. If so, then no wonder nothing else got updated. Any other citation that might be a better guess as to proportion of MacBook Pros sold?

      I'm surprised that people aren't quoting the part about how these were designed with the watch in mind. I think that Apple's long term vision is that the watch is eventually going to be the next iPod and phone as well as a fitness device (and watch). They can already hold songs in memory. But being small and on the wrist there was no way that they were going to put in an audio jack or lightning port. So, Bluetooth only. Now that they added in GPS, people will use their Applewatch even more without their iPhone - and the airpod makes a nice accessory for that; seemlessly switching from iPhone to Applewatch to iPhone. 
     So, I think a lot of these will sell to people with Applewatch who want to listen to music while they exercise without needing the iPhone. Next step will be cellular data in next version of Applewatch to allow for music streaming. Stay ahead of the puck!
     Finally, since these are a custom apple Bluetooth implementation (added secret sauce to standard Bluetooth) it wouldn't surprise me if they are using something akin to what will be Bluetooth 5 standards for higher data rates and distance. Similarly, perhaps the same with the new Applewatches and iPhones?
