One in three Android Wear owners also uses ... an iPhone

Wishful thinking again! Google's control of Android is increasing, not least, through project Treble which will allow Google to push updates to device much faster. Yes, this does required Android 8 and will thus take a few years to bear fruit but Google generally plays the long game.

Elsewhere Google is pushing its OSes and services (the OS is just the springboard) onto more and more different types of devices and seeing which work. As a data-centric company Google cares less about the OS than the data it can collect via its services.

As others have noted the odd thing here is I-Phone users with Android Wear devices is a step away from Apple's "halo" philosophy of lock-in to an IOS-only world.
