Not everyone lives near an Apple Store either.

Thankfully Apple has recently made genuine iPhone batteries more available to repair shops, but that was just 4 months ago. They spent 13 years not doing that first.

People have been able to go to a shop and get batteries replaced (whether they were genuine or not) for a decade. It’s only been within the past two or three years where it made the slightest difference between whether it was genuine or not.
