I agree about the confusion, btu the issue AFAICT is more about the fact that they didn't offer consumers any way to rectify the issue

  Have the plaintiffs requested some kind of battery notification? Their angle has always been accusing Apple of planned obsolescence, which seems laughable compared to how little long-term support Android phones get.

    I think they added that around the time the lawsuit was initially filed. You'll get a popup notice when throttling is applied, you have an option to disable throttling (at risk of shutdowns at low charge), and the health metric is exposed in settings now.

Apple making phones that last a little longer than Google doesn't mean Apple make products that last. That just means that both Google and Apple are designing products that fail unreasonably quickly.
