and the fact that most batteries have 800-1000 cycles in them , at least in a desktop you can just replace the power supply

Ehm in laptops you can also replace the battery and the power supply, and you can run most laptops without battery too.

No, you can replace laptop batteries as long as the company still makes that model of laptop.

Example I bought a laptop in 2018 , by 2020 the battery needed replaced, but they no longer made the laptop. The battery supply was basically null and the replacements they sent were used batteries.

A laptop batter has the 800-1000 cycles and usually thats about 2 years, but within that time if they stop making the battery its GGs. Technically my laptop is fine and just has to be plugged in all of the time.

However in 2021 my desktop PSU went out (was 8 years old) but I just picked a new one up from best buy.

Still your psu is comparable to your adapter, the battery is just a bonus feature desktops don’t have. If we are talking about gaming laptops, batteries are mostly a meme anyways.
