It was either that or have the customer experience unexpected shutdowns.

Perhaps Apple believed that users would buy into the "chemical aging" 
narrative without question and believe that Apple was doing them a favor 
by reducing the CPU speed. Based on some news reports, immediately after 
the story broke, it was clear that some fan sites believed that story.

It was sad to see how it unfolded at the beginning. A Harvard Business 
Case study of how not to handle a bad situation. But the end result was 
fine. Customers were thrilled to get a discounted battery replacement.
