Activity & steps while crocheting

Do you think that Apple should add knitting and crocheting to activities? My I watch is counting crocheting as steps and activities, according to my Google search crocheting for an hour, burns 173 cal approximately. Not sure what knitting burns in calories. Maybe I should turn on “other activity” when while crocheting and see what it does.
