Why do you think so? My wireless Samsung Buds are about 2 years old and they are working great, as if new. Meanwhile when I had various wired headphones before that, 2 years was about their top life, mostly because of the cable getting damaged, which you can't replace anyway. So the argument of battery not being replaceable is totally irrelevant for me, and I think for most other people as well.
The main complaint with buds is that they are comparatively easy to lose, on top of the small size and lots of glue making repairs difficult and heat hard to dissipate.
The ifixit teardown of the FP buds was also scathing.

Like the other guy said, you can get headphones with detachable cables like IEMs. They don't even have to be expensive mind you. I have a 22€ pair with a replaceable cable.
