I never really understood the narrative of the "Batterygate"...

I absolutely agree, Apple should have alerted the user when the throttling was enabled (and given the user a choice) from the day this feature was implemented.

However, I actually prefer my phone being slower and usable rather than fast but randomly shutting down. But somehow this does not seem the general consensus?

In general, Li-On batteries don't degrade like this; only design flaws could lead to this kind of behavior.
