> Unfortunately their capitalist asses probably want you to reduce the battery life faster and buy a new device

My anecdotal evidence is that people tend to stick to the same brand when upgrading phones.

I think that depends on the brand. If they like the product, then yes. If the product has terrible battery life, probably not so much.
