A hill I will die on: almost all consumer electronics devices with a lithium-blah battery in them would be just fine with NiMH. They would last years in a drawer without turning into a pillow, and could be repaired easily.

There's a few devices where the extra density really makes a difference, but for the rest, I think it's lazy engineering, and a way to "externalize" costs: you get slightly longer on-battery time, and you push the problem of maintenance and environment on the consumer.
