If you read the article you'd see that Apple will not sell you a battery. They will ONLY sell you a "Top case with battery and keyboard" which requires removing every single part of the laptop in order to replace. This is more invasive, more expensive, and less approachable from a repair standpoint if you go with their process.

It's less repairable than a hypothetical version of the repair program which sells you just the component you need to replace, sure, but you can still perform any-and-all actions that you'd have taken to replace a battery before Apple's official program existed.
