It wouldn't be any different as how iOS has been doing it since a long ago, it shows the battery in maintenance mode and they even say to go to an authorized place to do it lol.

I want all that BS to end already, managing battery life has been more stressful to me that I'd want to admit (yeah, quick charge ain't the solution).

Quick charge actually damages the battery over time lol. Tbh, if the battery was replacable and you could just buy and replace one, would it still be stressful to get that message?

Exactly, but many people couldn't give a shit about the battery health if you can charge the device in 20 mins and last the whole day... I mean yeah, technically, but that will cost you in a not too distant future...

I'd say no, it would be awesome as I generally take good care of my devices always and the battery is always the first sign of needing a change for me, now that I have an Android phone and know about custom ROMs the sky would be the limit lol.
