That would be a fair point if (a) this wouldn't happen when the device is plugged in [spoiler: it is still dog-slow] and (b) if the user had a choice between longer battery run time and smooth video playback on his phone that is (gasp) almost two years old.
Since neither is the case, the balance of probabilities shifts towards deliberate planned obsolescence through sabotaging user's devices rather than prudent battery life management.
