The iPod had that battery in it for built-in-obseletion. Apple knew they could expand the storage on the iPod for a low enough cost, they just couldn't do it when the iPod was first rolled out, so they essentially made the call that iPod users would, instead of paying $99 for a new battery, buy the newer and better models when they were rolled out, and a good number of iPod users have. In the end, Apple makes mad loot.
