They did. They allow for 3rd Party vendors to fill in the gaps that they wish to not fill in. Apple provides service, which many Apple enthusiasts are willing to use instead of 3rd Party.
There is a whole marketplace/cottage industry that does that.

As stated in the iBrick thread.
I would hardly call this a bait and switch. A bit sensationalistic if anything.
It was well known prior to the sales, that there was no replacement of the battery midday. What was unknown was how either Apple or other 3rd party would deal with it.
Again, I'm 100% positive that someone out there will create an iPhone cracker (maybe some of you remember the old MacCrackers for the original Macs) to easily disassemble the unit, and replace the battery.
Mother Necessity mixed in with some Capitalism.
