A lithium battery is made of lithium compounds not raw lithium. Expecting it to react the same way as pure lithium is a profound misunderstanding of basic chemistry.

Kind of like when people commonly refer to table salt as “sodium”. Sodium is a highly caustic and reactive metal. The metal sodium is profoundly different than the salt called sodium chloride. Sharing a specific type of element means nothing when comparing compounds.
