The Apple Store, Repairing Technician are all part of Apple ( As I stated Operational Cost ) whether they were doing the battery replacement programme or not. They just have more works to do. And it is a ~10 mins job following Apple standard procedure, less than 5 min if you don't.

Not to mention Apple outsource a lot of these Battery replacement programme to Registered Third Parties.

A better Spec battery cost less than $7 from LG Chem. BOM cost on battery are not expensive at all, and it is not a secret.

Which doesn't cost them as much and are part of the services agreement?

Just in case you did't know.
