Wait, why cant the OS tell the user that something is wrong with the battery.

What would the user do about it? The battery is officially non-replaceable.

Nah, Apple will replace it for you - $79, last I heard. If you open up the phone, the battery says "Replacement by Authorized Service Provider Only" (or something similar--I'm quoting from memory here.)
