I am not aware of many devices that use swappable 18650's either. Off the top of my head the only ones i'm aware of are vape devices.

I refuse to buy cordless powertools. I know it's not exactly the same as built-in batteries, but In their short existence, I have already seen proprietary rechargeable batteries become discontinued (My mom wanted to get an extra battery for a handheld vacuum, couldn't find the battery by itself, so bought what she thought was the same model; nope, they changed the battery design, even though the rest of the new vacuum was the same as the old one)

The passing resemblance to cointelpro ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COINTELPRO ) had me suspicious and it still didn't click for me until then either.

I'm waiting until the API changes actually take place to delete my account. I want it to be clear they are still bleeding users weeks from now.
