Nissan still only claims less than 1% of their battery packs are replaced under warranty due to degradation, which I find impossible to believe. Because at one time it was pretty easy to find a lease turn in leaf with a brand-new battery.

That could be true depending on how they crunch the data. It was the 2011 and 2012 batteries that were real bad but production was low (9700 and 10000 in the USA) Even if they were replacing 20 or 30% of those early batteries in the USA that would be a small percentage of the hundreds of thousands of Leafs made globally.
You also live in an area with some of the worse conditions for battery degradation so you would see more than most people.
