Look at the 16v/18v Dewalt tech and the new 20v tech. Completely incompatible.
You are correct, they are incompatible.
And if you wanted to buy that 18V Dewalt battery, you still can, so what's your point?
I wouldn't consider ordering it off of Amazon a hassle.

Battery tech is continuously improving and it's less likely to see performance improvements on the obsolete stuff. I have 4 acres to cut so if I purchased a battery powered ZRT today there's a risk that I'll never be able to mow my property in one charge with that product.

in fairness this isn't exactly apples to apples. 18V dewalt had super wide adoption. sold at least 10s of millions, if not hundreds. electric riding mower batteries not nearly as widely adopted, and in much greater need of advancement given their current limitations. it's not if your batteries are rendered obsolete but when. anyone investing in this tech now should be mindful of that eventuality.
also comparing to combustible motor tech obsolescence isn't helpful. very easy to repair any ic motor and its components. with proper maintenance and ability to repair, an ic motor can run for decades. battery systems aren't designed to be repaired (and you can't repair a depleted battery).
