So many lithium batteries in my house. Cheap ones are fire hazards. I like that apple is looking out for me so that if I go to any place for apple parts and be reasonably sure they made it hard for them to sell counterfeit parts.
The problem is they're not just preventing counterfeit or third party parts from working. If that was the case, it'd at least be understandable. They're also preventing legitimate and working parts that were transplanted from other Apple devices. They do this on purpose because they want you to pay $800 to replace the phone rather than $80 to replace the part at an independent repair shop.
Apple profits enough off of making people pay to replace their devices over minor, repairable damage that it's worth

And parts handled by people who wipe their behind using the wrong hand, not that it's any more relevant than your 'point'.
