So this is where we see letting third-party vendors have that level of access to the OS in order to provide security becomes a vulnerability in itself. 

Nonsense. Good standards don’t let third parties to operate “on an OS level” since that access is not needed to begin with. In case of Apple and Microsoft they provide APIs and frameworks that other vendors can use. They stay within these boundaries (or there wouldn’t be a standard).

Also, you could argue the very opposite. Letting a few tech giants in control over protocols used world-wide means that when things go bad, everything goes bad. 

You might not understand how antivirus work, but kernel access is needed for them to function.

Perhaps, to coincide with this, Watch 10 will provide 24 hours of expected battery life?

New watches already do last at least 24 hours. Still have to pick time to charge for about an hour.

Not officially.  Apple still states 18 hours of battery life for Series 9 and below (Ultra being the obvious exception).  My Series 5 still lasts longer than that (about 20 hrs on average), but my point is that if the "official" battery life could be raised, it would push things to a more realistic full day of wear.  As it stands now, I've always had to charge for an hour or so beyond the opportune shower top ups.

Fully understand the compromise between battery and features.  However, a small bump to battery life would give a much-appreciated additional flex in active use.
