LiFePO4 batteries have been available for 5+ years. They aren't used in portable devices because they have lower energy density than other lithium batteries. They're great for fixed installations where density isn't an issue.

They should work fine in plenty of portable situations, not everything is a drone. Power tools, universal battery packs that offer AC, USB, etc., scooters, motorcycles, and all sorts of other stuff should work very well. Even golf carts and some scooters use lead acid batteries.
