Lithium, cobalt and other related metals don’t come from the sky, entire ecosystems (mostly from the 3rd world) are destroyed so that those metals can make their way into batteries for EVs.

Accusing the oil industry for destroying the world while cheering for EVs reminds me of that meme with two Spider-Man characters pointing at each other.

The difference with burnables is that those materials can be reused indefinitely once you put them out of the ground.
