Apple recently had to replace Iphone batteries because there device became slougish. So there is precedent.

Apple didn't have to replace batteries, they chose to do it to quiet down the bad PR they were receiving.

When Intel issues a microcode update to slow down aging Skylake processors so that everyone goes out to buy Cannonlake, you might be able to draw a comparison.

Sorry maybe I used the wrong word "precendence". But there is a similarity and Apple is still beeing sued. And purely a PR move is also misleading.
