Why does rucking not count as walking?

Why does rucking not count as walking, or why is rucking not an allowed activity on most challenges? I've rucked about 10 miles this month but it doesn't count on any challenges, and doesn't count on anything walking? It's just walking with weight on your back. What can be done/needs to be done to fix this? Do the companies that put on the challenges need to allow it, or can the devs just click a button, or click some keys to add it in?

    Only Walk activities count towards walking stats, badges, and challenges. That was always the case, and I am afraid it is unlikely to change…

    Only Walk activities count towards walking stats, badges, and challenges. That was always the case, and I am afraid it is unlikely to change. If you really want your rucking activities to be counted for walking, change the activity type to Walk. You can keep (or add) the Pack Weight parameter, in the settings of the activity (or even in the Walk activity profile).
