Based on the article and other comments about the dispute, it seems like a justified legal move, but I hope they come around to an agreement regarding existing devices, rather than something insane, such as disabling the functionality on existing consumer devices.
I was given an Apple Watch in 2017. I replaced that (functioning just fine) watch about a year ago with a model with a pulse oximeter, specifically because I wanted the feature.
They couldn’t do that without somehow compensating you. Not saying that is better but they can’t cripple a product that you have paid for.

That will end up as a class action lawsuit with some merit. There will be a race to file this one.
Won’t get much back though. It’ll be a small refund based on the cost of the feature relative to the overall purchase price.
