So what? They had to try their apps to see how they worked, to see how customers responded. No biggie if some weren't good fits.

I agree with your general sentiment. However, the eBay app was a great fit. It's too bad that's gone.

Google have already stated that maps will return to the watch in a future build. Also good job 'discovering' this. Did it take much effort to read this?

...Perhaps read the first paragraph of the article you posted. "As first noted by AppleInsider, Google Maps, Amazon, and eBay have pulled their Apple Watch apps from the App Store. "
