No, vendor chaos! Samsung always behave different like they where Apple
just with Android instead if iOS. Their smartwatches also do not provide
all features with non-Samsung smartphones.

Android itself has a well defined API which is also used bei
K-9/Thunderbird and of course you can use your contacts there as well.
It is just Samsung which use a broken custom version of Android which
does not allow this by default.
