Kind-of, you can typically get rechargeable lithium versions of the same form factor as alkaline batteries, as well as the fact that many "proprietary" batteries like digital camera batteries are actually pretty common and standard, or widely available. For example, if you design a device to take standard gopro batteries, that will be easy to get for a long time. Standard button cells, which have been lithium for a long time, can be obtained in rechargeable versions. However a major issue is that the charging circuitry/method/design is not standard for rechargeable versions of non-rechargeable standard batteries. So you often need to remove it and charge it with a charging system from the battery manufacturer instead of charging in place.
