Ya the only reason I get new phones is because the battery gets too weak. I could easily keep the same device for 5+ years if I could swap batteries

    The only reason I get new phones is cos OS updates stop flowing. That happens way before I notice any battery degradation. This law solves nothing.

    Samsung and Google support their current generation phones for five years. Apple supports theirs for seven years from when they're last sold.

    You can. It cost $15 every three years to have someone replace the battery for you or you can spend the hour doing it yourself.
