Then perhaps Apple should have been transparent about what they were doing and told their customers who complained about the obvious slowdowns and were ignored by Apple. It was only until it was proven, without a doubt, that Apple was deliberately slowing down their CPU's did they finally admit to what they were doing.
Additionally, Apple has known about this issue for some time so they had ample time to correct the issue. Unfortunately, having the fastest mobile CPU on the market was more important than the side effects of a battery that could no longer provide the voltage required to hit those Geekbench scores.
