Most devices & gadgets are rechargeable nowadays. The only thing I have that still requires batteries is a headlamp but even those are available in rechargeable varieties. House smoke detectors need a battery too.

    Non-rechargable batteries are the only possible solution for things that draw very, very little power.
    Like watches and clocks, smoke detectors, etc.
    Things where you replace the battery every 1-10 years. A rechargable battery wouldn’t really make much sense in that context, even if it was possible to make one that lasts that long.
