Love seeing examples like this where gaming is used to support a different activity!
Exergames have been around for a while, but a lot of them "gamify" the activity instead of making it an actual game. I hope more developers will follow suit!
Maybe a better topic for Remap, but I was surprised at you being upset with a lack of post launch updates. The more Nintendo-centric communities I hang out in generally are happy that Nintendo “releases complete games instead of fixing them with a long tail of updates”. I’m also aware it’s welcome with physical purchasers who like the game on the cart being the finished thing. Sounds like Ring Fit doesn’t feel complete?
Ring Fit is a very complete game, and they definitely added stuff to it after launch like the rhythm minigame.
Since it's meant to be something you engage with daily, I do wish they put some post-launch support to adding more exercises or other ways of mixing it up as you go.

I'm mostly in Travis' camp. The way most exercise relationships work these days is ongoing, with hooks to keep you interested/remixing your routine.
