I'm afraid that no-one here can tell you anything about Apple's unannounced plans for new apps (this is a user-based technical support community) and it is also not allowed here to speculate.
You can send feedback to let Apple know what features you would like the fitness apps to offer:

Keep in mind that Apple Watch displays Active Energy (calories) on the watch, rather than total calories.
For the best results, also:
- Check that your iPhone and watch are updated with the latest software:
- Check that your personal information is accurate:
- On your iPhone, in the Watch app, go to: My Watch (tab) > Health > check and, if necessary, edit your birthdate, gender, height and weight.
- During workouts, for the best performance from the heart rate sensor (data from which is used when estimating calories), ensure that you wear your watch snugly on the top of your wrist. Apple suggests that you consider tightening the band before starting a workout and loosening it again afterwards.
- Calibrate your watch, which will improve the accuracy of health and activity-related estimations including:
- Calorie estimations for workouts when using the Workout app.
- Calorie, distance, Move and Exercise estimations in the Activity App.
- Calibrating your Apple Watch for improved Workout and Activity accuracy - Apple Support
