Given the choice between not having to touch your shifter for years, and having to plug it in monthly, I'd say it's a pragmatic choice, especially when you start to factor In water ingress and either a quick release shifter or requiring the user to colocate their bikes with outlets. Even the Tesla key fob uses a coin cell. It makes good sense for the low power RF protocol SRAM Is using (I believe Zigbee)
