It's very much an avoidable inconvenience to replace. I don't see it as ridiculous at all.

It in fact takes over a year to completely drain. Perhaps two years. It's inevitable, as CR2032s are not rechargeable and the circuits begins to draw on it less than two minutes after the system is unplugged. Eventually the battery must run out.
