Kinda late now, we used to have battery problems, they would lose performance after 1-2 years, but not anymore. It would be better if they forced manufacturers to provide easy glass and touchscreen replacement which tend to fail much before batteries

I've replaced batteries for 1 year old phones.

My last few phones had cracked screen after 2-3 years and battery could still hold for a day or more. But yeah battery used to be a first thing to fail on almost every phone before that. Just my experience

I definitely get battery degradation after 1-2 years still. A lot of phones have good enough total battery life now that it doesn't matter nearly as much, but it definitely still happens
