The battery in cartridges has expired in the vast majority of the cases which means you can't save anymore. I don't see any outrage towards Nintendo for that.

Disingenuous.

There's a bright distinction between natural wear of the product and remote shutdowns.

Analogy: I don't get outraged if my laptop's battery loses capacity or even swells over time. I do get outraged if I can't boot my laptop because it checked with some remote server that decided I'm not allowed to boot it.

You can also replace the battery to restore functionality.
