I guess that viable options for longer lasting batteries just aren't coming into the phone market. So the companies are doing the next best thing: Just refill the battery faster.

This is unfortunately the (current) answer.

They cannot figure out a more commercially viable option. The tech is "better" now than it was, but nothing in terms of revolutionary change for small scale storage.

There's promising tech for large scale battery storage, which frees up some of the more rare resources for smaller batteries, but nothing really in the pipeline that I have seen. (Been at least paying attention to battery tech sence the 90's).
