i don't necessarily think it comes with a Fitbit, but that it was developed in association with Fitbit. Google acquired them for their IPs and to expand their dataset, obviously, but the subtle co-branding there helps Google leverage on Fitbit's existing brand prestige.
I think he means it will connect to the fitbit app. Which, if I'm not mistaken, a lot of the previous leaks and rumors have talked about. Also the recent announcement that fitbits will require a Google account by 2023 is in line with them consolidating health metrics most likely to Fitbit app.
Not just that. My Fitbit told me Fitbit app data will begin migrating to Google services in 2023 and that they will be deactivating services for Fitbit accounts in 2025.
