The value judgment of "not worth it" is relative to perceived improvement in getting a new phone, but for many people the judgment is "can I get a new phone for $69?" Outside of carrier subsidies in the US, that's still not possible.

But you can get a better phone with great battery life for 250$. Motorola and many other manufacturers sell perfectly usable devices with 5000 mAh batteries for that price.

And you can get an even better phone by spending 900$! /s

Why would you switch platforms, form factors, OSs, etc. for +4x the cost of a battery in the ecosystem you already know?

$250 for a new phone that has some more modern features, but is still "low-end".

versus

$69 to keep a premium-at-the-time iPhone 6S alive.

because that iphone 6s is EOL no matter the battery. If you don't want to drop the money for a recent-ish iPhone you have to switch.

Not that 1000$ are a bad deal for an iPhone that will easily last you 4+ years.
