Case in point, I have a 15-year old iPod Classic
You can't compare a 15 year old battery with a current battery. They don't have the same chemistry, and battery technology has changed drastically in 15 years.

Also, Apple did and does a lot of special things with the electronics around their batteries to try to keep them healthy.
