I really don’t understand the significance of this. If there were really a market for epaper watches, why did no one make them for the last 10 years? Was PebbleOS really so amazing that no one could replicate anything similar?

Probably no-one just took the responsibility to start doing it for free. Foss projects usually start from one or couple bored people just really wanting something so bad they’ll start putting big hours to make it real

Who said anything about free?
Usually it starts “for free” and if you’re lucky you might earn something from it
