A guy on Priuschat said he had something like 8 major problems with his within his first 6 months of ownership. I'm not sure what though, but it sounded like he was never going to get a Chrysler anything ever again.

Used buyers do. If all cars were hybrids and needed expensive battery replacements at 15 years then their value would decrease more quickly, possibly making car ownership more expensive for everyone.
It would be similar to how Nissan Leafs lost value quickly back before COVID, only the battery would have to be replaced although after a longer period of time.
And don't tell me that aftermarket batteries would make that a cheap fix. I don't believe aftermarket batteries will ever become a good idea. So far, the only ones that do work cost just as much as the OEM ones.
