Google isn't intentionally slowing your phone
Neither was Apple.
Yes they did, that was objectively true and had a big lawsuit about it, and Apple even admitted as such

I know this is going against the circlejerk but that's not even the same thing. This was specifically done because their batteries were shutting off as their health declined. It is something that ideally should have been off by default, but it isn't "apple slowing you down to get a new phone" because the issue would go away with a new battery.
And in my experience it helped, previous phones from Apple, Samsung, and HTC got squirrelly around 10-15% after 2-3 years of use.
With the throttling they implemented (to prevent batteries shutting off) I made it to just above 1000 charge cycles on my current phone. Still was only unstable around 4-6% battery with 81% battery life.
Sarcasm was missed apparently.
