Aside from the marketing waffle i’m not sure why Garmin has done this. I don’t see them selling more head units from it. If they restricted TP to garmin devices, people would leave the platform. Maybe it sells more garmin connect+ subscriptions if there’s an added value to having both at the same time.

Intervals.ICU is probably very happy right now.
RIP, TrainingPeaks….at least the good version of it. Up next - exclusive features for Garmin users.
