Will we see better integration between Tacx app and Garmin edge devices/Garmin connect?

Now that Garmin owns Tacx, I am wondering if we will start to see better integration between the Tacx App and the Garmin devices?

For example: If I record a ride on my Garmin edge 1040, while using the Tacx app to follow a movie/workout, the elevation data will be missing from the ride. If I record from the Tacx app, the elevation data will be there, but the cycling dynamics, stamina, and respiratory rate are missing.

The only "solution" is to dual record the activity using both the App and Garmin device, but then we have duplicate entries in our activity logs, which again is problematic in its own way.

Why can’t the Tacx app do/record everything the Garmin Edge device can, the computers that the Tacx app runs on aare far more powerful than whatever is onboard the Garmin devices. Does Garmin plan on adding all the features of the devices into the Tacx App over time?

I join this question.

I was dual recording from the app and the Garmin device to get the other data above, but it threw me the training status.

I would also place the requirements for the Tacx application in a separate "Apps & Software" folder.

I would also love to see this. Also hrv would be nice to have on garmin app, it works with esge so why not with the app?

And it would be great if you can do the same things on Windows as on Android App, what I mean is to start a training with Power or slope and just ride and change the valueq during ride and not have to preconfigure a ride which you have to do than. This is ot possible on Windows, why?

This is a typical garmin things, things work but not really well, and never be developed to the end.
