What’s the deal with the batteries that ship with a device last forever but the same band bought in stores leak after 2 years?

Same brand != same tier of battery.
There are different levels of battery quality. Adding a $1 battery versus $5 battery isn’t a big difference to OEMS who are buying millions to put in their 1000$ widget. Additionally economy of scale, and they want their remote to last a certain time so they pick a battery that will meet that standard.
For retailing sales, users want cheap batteries and aren’t really concerned with the batteries actual longevity or quality.
Check out project farm, I believe he reviewed some batteries a little while ago. You’ll see a massive difference between all of them

THE BATTERY BRAND X COMES IN A PACK OF FOUR! THE BATTERY BRAND X LASTED TWICE AS LONG! VERY IMPRESSIVE! THE BATTERY BRAND X COSTS $17!

Lots of users definitely want quality, issue is that it’s hard to trust that the quality is actually that much better.
