The purpose of these watches has long been served. They introduced Apple Watch as a premium digital watch to the masses, getting free media attention.

Celebrity owners would have got a brief sparkle from it. Perhaps also some of Apple's marketing budget too. And they continue to own a legacy item which will have notoriety beyond mere function.

Collectors of rare historical firearms presumably don't actually fire them.

They do, generally at least before selling it to prove it works, as a working firearm has more value than one than doesn't.

If I buy a WWI-era pistol, they’ll fire it before I fork over the cash? Surely not, right?

Only if they are claiming it still works and are asking for more money due to that. And still, only if you care enough to verify it works as they claim.
