You’re absolutely right. While we can’t for everything like a Steam Deck or Nintendo Switch, there are a lot of smaller devices, mainly the IoT stuff, that should be powered by standard batteries but does not and this needs to change. A lot of them prefer to get a cheap Chinese battery that either gets soldered or pinned to a board than allow a user to switch out batteries.

Sometimes it is nice because you can charge but other times it’s dumb like when it’s a cheap battery that is dead and won’t charge anymore.
