With my EV I follow recommended practice to ensure longevity of the battery. I rarely charge it more than halfway as I don't need to for my regular usage, and I avoid letting it run down entirely. Once you engage in battery swapping, where's the incentive to take care of it well? After my first swap my brand new excellent condition battery is replaced by who knows what.

Exactly, this is the equivalent of tire swaps...my tires I take care of and rotate and replace when the tread is worn down, the hell do I want someone's else batteries being in my car that could end up having a short lift or explode on me.
