Why would they? There are so many ecosystem tie ins between the Apple Watch and the iPhone. Besides, what does the development tool chain look like? Develop an Android app for the phone and a Swift App for the watch? What is the debugging experience?

Then on the other hand, with the Watch OS stand alone store, Apple might be moving into that direction of not requiring a phone at all.
