Your car has a battery that may last 200k miles. Compare that to a

You are comparing maximum possible life to minimum possible life.
Doesn't seem very fair to the Leaf.
My Leaf has 6 years and 50k miles on it with 80% of the new
range/capacity remaining.
My 2011 Leaf became useless to me before 25k miles when it's range was
reduced to ~60 miles. My 2013 Tesla, at ~150k miles, has about 225
miles left of it's original 265. It is very near as useful as it was
new. It can still go essentially anywhere in the country following a
chain of SuperChargers spaced at <150 miles. I believe 3/Ys have longer
lived batteries than early Ss. We won't know for sure for a few years,
but I think 200k miles is a very reasonable expectation.
Congratulations on your very good Leaf battery luck! Though I'm not
sure how useful 80% of a small Leaf battery is.
