I hate this so much that because of their proprietary battery slots you have to stick with one brand. And I can't understand how this is even legal in UE when they spend so much time and resources to push usb-c as a standard and even made Apple bend. Why would you allow this, it's much worse than a cable on ecological level
(I'm not saying that usb-c was a bad thing, far from it!)
I agree, but in the mean time you can buy adapters that allow us to use mix-and-match batteries with other brands. Just search aliexpress for strings like "Makita or (insert brand here) battery adapter.
I'm ordering a LIDL parkside battery to DeWalt XRP adapter. There are compatible batteries for around 20€, but I have a few LIDL Parkside tools now, and only a couple of Dewalts.
You can buy adaptors to put bosh batteries in devalt tools.
