Oh yes. A pet peeve of mine as well. (That said, I really don't need the motivation of streaks and closing rings, so I'm ok with it.)

My look at and questions to Apple Store staff didn't answer if an Ultra model would be better or different in this regard.
Though I can't say for sure since I don't have my Ultra yet, I'd say that I am over 99.9999% sure that it doesn't matter which watch model you have. It's all based on machine learning algorithms in the Health/Fitness apps. From what I have deduced, my theory is that if you meet your goal for a month, or come very close, the next goal will often be a random metric and will ask you to do about 10% more the next month. If you haven't met the goal recently, they pick a close-the-rings goal that you've accomplished recently and ask you to match it.
It would be great if Apple added some new Move goals for those of you who are true trail blazers!
