The $29 battery replacement program was only introduced after Apple was sued: https://www.macworld.com/article/230860/iphone-29-battery-re...

Also: users were not warned about this "feature", many (most?) didn't know why their phones slowed down, and there was no way to disable the behaviour.

Ah yeah, it was $50 before it was dropped to $29.

And I already mentioned in my initial comment that they didn't notify users. That's what the lawsuit in France was over, the lack of notice. I believe an OS update did eventually let users switch off the behaviour, and view their battery health.
