The companies generally know it can be gameified. Most people don't bother, so they don't really care too much.

Even if Fitbit only allowed data from wearables, you could still hook up a wearable to a fan or similar and get similar results. There's not really a way to avoid it.

Also had a coworker who would put the Fitbit on the handle of his motorcycle while he was driving and the vibrations were interpreted as running.
