Some watches including Garmin Forerunner 955 have recently received an update enabling a native inline skating activity profile. I was wondering if there is any chance the same will be added to Garmin Forerunner 945.

Hi Lukas! Thanks for expressing your interest in Inline Skating. It helps keep showing Garmin how desirable the activity is within the community and watch models.
As e7andy said, it’s unlikely to see old watch models get these new features. Not even the Fenix 6 got it. Oddly enough, even newer models like VivoActive 5 and Venu 3 haven’t gotten this activity yet, but received Jump Rope that came out months after Inline Skating. 
I was hoping for the Skating profile in Connect to set a skate-specific calculation considering weight, calories/km, including height meters etc.
Even though there’s a native Inline Skating activity, technically it’s still an ‘Other’ activity. Calories will stay the same because in essence you’re just changing its sub-category. That and other issues from still being ‘Other’ have been highlighted here.
they should add a inline skate-specific symbol for the type just like strava does.
There is one. Not long ago it was added to the activity tile in home screen and the all activities list. It appears after the use of the new activity. Even when switching activity types manually in Connect, it should appear.
