Fitbit is for noobs and dilettantes. When I was shopping for a reasonably priced fitness tracker, fitbit didn't even have onboard GPS which is why I went with Garmin. The only thing that fitbit does better than Garmin is sleep tracking which explains why fats love them!

To signal to others that they are health conscious even though their every other actions suggest otherwise. It lazily conveys the same sentiment as "but I eat a salad and 500 calories a day and still gain weight!" to others

Virtue signaling. The Fitbit is supposed to show you how much they care about health and exercise. Their bodies tell the truth. For those of us who actually do care about health and exercise, Fitbits just signal how little you know about either.

Probably to keep an eye on their high blood pressure/ elevated heart rate they pretend isn't a problem
