Yes, of course....because being intentionally terrible to your customers is such good business.
Any money saved in manufacturing isn’t necessarily extra profits. It can go to lowering the cost. And since “everyone” is sealing the batteries....then if you don’t lower the price, you run the risk of being priced out of the market.
If you make products that don’t last as long as the competition...you’ll eventually lose sales.
If sealed batteries had no other purpose than “money for the manufacturer”... some competitors would keep user replaceable batteries as a sales advantage.
