If my mom saw that on her phone she would call me and say her phone was exploding. Or go and buy a new phone.

Doing stuff behind the scenes is fine because people are ignorant and easily panic. But it should have been visible in the battery power menu or something.

In the battery menu of my iPhone X, I saw a warning similar to "maximum performance might be affected". The menu showed battery life was low (%69), warned about performance and recommended me to bring the phone to customer service.

Which seem perfectly reasonable to me honestly. This all seem like a nothing issue when we have larger problems concerning things like planned obsolescence and no maintainability to deal with.
