Because it runs through 1500 charging cycles and capacity degrades.

Why do Rivian batteries degrade so much more quickly than other manufacturers'? 1500 cycles is fine with a Tesla, IIRC on average something like 10% degradation on average (and for most people 1500 cycles takes way more than 3 years! You'd have to drive >100k miles per year to hit that! I imagine most Rivians are driving 10x less than that)
