I'm going to play the odds and guess that you're not a battery designer.
Apple did not actually offer the replacement program within ~600km of my home, but I managed to convince them that an Apple Authorised Service provider in my town at least do it. They agreed and gave me a CS Code valid for the the battery replacement to be done.
But it was ultimately denied because of a tiny chip in the glass on the screen.
I really liked every other aspect of this phone though.
* Only handsets with degraded batteries were throttled
* Replacing the battery returned the handset to full speed
* The only thing that changed after the fine was that you now have an option to stop the throttling and have unexpected reboots instead.
* All iPhones since then, including brand new iPhone 12s will throttle when the battery degrades.
