Painful how true that is. It’s awful.
At least some doorbell cameras power themselves off the doorbell power supply, so it’s not all devices with battery. Still more than should exist though.
I think a lot of them, like the Google doorbell camera use rechargeable batteries. So you don’t even need the power cable. Just take it off of the mount every few weeks to charge it back up.
Then throw it in the trash in 2-3 years once the battery sufficiently degrades and buy a whole new one of course.

More like throw it in the trash when gooogle decides it’s obsolete and bricks it for “security concerns”
