Mmmmmm.
You seem to be putting together a circular argument which is only valid if one accepts your proposition of "the profit hungry replacement battery industry". Surely these people would need to be in cahoots with the smartphone manufacturers, since they are, as their name states, the "replacement battery" industry...
I have had smartphones since the iPaq and Palm Treo, and whilst none of them were particularly good on battery life (due to the points mentioned before), none of them ever needed replacement batteries; my teams now supply around 850 smartphones to our internal customers, and we have very few battery replacement requirements (spare chargers, yes....).
