There are alot of Wii Fit activities that would be either either awkward or impossible with the Ring-con/leg strap combo.  The juggling minigame, soccer heading, hula hoop, and rhythm boxing just to name a few.  For any of these to work, the leg strap would have to function as the balance board, which I don't think it can, and you'd need two joycons.  

You're right in terms of specific exercises and activites, but the ring brings new exercises and activities that covers the same muscles that the board was covering. After the ring, the board can be used as an add-on for a few exercises. That's why I the ring can be seen as a board successor. It doesn't emulate the same exercises, but it covers many bases to the point that the board isn't a requirement to call this new version a Fit successor.

That's the same kind of marketing that failed during the Wii U days.  The Wii Fit branding may still have some appeal, but it's more important for Nintendo to highlight what's new about this game, not to mention keeping the required peripherals to a minimum.
