So then why not warrant against it if this is so certain? Also, ICE gas tanks don't get smaller over time.

The warrant the same and more than what is powertrain warranty on ICE. this worry about battery is just silly, especially newer batteries. I had more trouble with ICE once I hit 100k than with the EV. Personally, with 11-year old Tesla S - still on original brakes (you don't really brake with regen braking) - battery is at 90% (free supercharging so the car has basically always been supercharged) - replaced tires once, at 60k - had to replace a model to move to 5G - have incurred not a single penny of other expenses in the last 11 years

which is most people don't know how to drive EVs with maintenance in mind.

so basically what you are saying here would be like if I took my iphone and put it in the oven and then complained that it doesn't work quite like it should...

Not really. This is such an odd analogy. It has no context around the fact that the population has been accelerating and breaking on a different paradigm for decades. So, it'd be like saying you had to put your iPhone in the microwave once a day and then asking people to put it in the oven instead.
