Think for a second. Put a CR2032 coin cell next to an AAA battery. Think how huge those tracking tiles/tags would be, not to mention much heavier due to the battery alone.
For some items it wouldn't matter. Adding a AAA-sized keychain to my keys won't cause me major distress, especially if it's also a flashlight. But it would be a problem for my wallet, which is already bigger than it strictly needs to be.
The best way to accelerate a Macintoy is at 9.8 meters per second per second.

Then you should rejoice that Apple finally built a product with a user-replaceable battery.

On top of that, it uses a plain regular CR2032 that you can find anywhere.

Would prefer a rechargeable AAA. Those coin cells aren't great for the environment.

AAA battery: alkaline ~11.5 grams, lithium ~7.6 grams, nickel–metal hydride (NiMH) ~15 grams.
The typical weight of a CR2032 coin cell is ~3.0 grams.

That's the standard Apple trade off. A bit thinner vs. not an environmental disaster.
