Most phones are going to have something go wrong with them by the end of 36 months of usage -- battery, OS, random glitches, etc. Doesn't matter if it's a major flagship or a budget model -- I've never seen a phone have 36 months of daily usage and NOT be ready to be replaced. And that's with all the nifty "protections" enabled too.....didn't do a thing to help.
And with software support being so absolutely critical anymore, it's just not worth nursing as much life out of a handheld -- when a replacement is $40-100. In the IT world, we have a saying: "Treat it like cattle, not like a pet."

My kids each have a Pixel 6a. Google acknowledged an issue with the batteries and even offered a free battery replacement. Aside from battery-related issues, their phones still worked fine. I did install a moderately rugged $20 case and a screen protector on each when I got them. But aside from that, the phones weren't given any special treatment. Both phones still work fine.
I do treat the thousands of phones I manage in Intune as cattle. But the few phones in my household are treated as pets.

Regarding charging speed, you aren't really getting this thing for it's charging capabilities but to have an actual alarm clock. We've already got fast chargers all over the house for a quick charge. 1A (5W) will charge a modern flagship phone in 5-7 hours, which would seemingly be ideal for the use case of charging it on your nightstand alarm clock. Having PD and ultra fast chargers are great when you need them.

Phones are built around a cycle of something called "Planned Obsolescence" -- it's where something is designed to fail within a certain period of time, typically to encourage disposal and subsequent new sales.
With almost zero exceptions, something invariably goes wrong with the device by month 36 (aka three years of usage). So routinely in fact, that at month 24, I'm already searching for a new handheld -- giving me an entire year (including holiday sales cycle) to find a suitable replacement.

A flagship Apple device starts at $800 (currently), with budget options at the $600 tier.
Insurance for the device ("Apple's Care") is $10/month, plus various fees for whatever claim is made. You REALLY don't want to have an issue with the device outside of warranty, or else repairs will be so expensive, you can easily justify a new purchase instead of a repair.
Flagship Androids are similar in cost, if not more.
Let's assume you get five years of use out of the Apple device (which is EXCEPTIONALLY good).
Insurance: $120/year x 5 years (60 months) = $600 (assuming no claims)
Device: $800
Total for 5 years: $1400, or $23.33/month.
Total for 3 years: $1160, or $32.22/month
Apple insurance is so expensive, you almost have to assume something is going to go wrong within the first three years -- otherwise, between the premium + claim fees, you're almost better off buying two devices. So which is it -- are they made so poorly, you expect them to fail prematurely? Or are they made so amazingly well and last for so long, making insurance a relative non-issue?
------------
I can routinely find a budget-to-mid-tier Android device for $40-150, and I've personally never spent more than $80 for a handheld. At these prices, my "insurance" is literally buying two devices, keeping a spare on the shelf. So let's go with the highest end of my range....
Devices: 2 devices x $150/device = $300 total
Total for 5 years: $5/month
Total for 3 years: $8.33/month
And for my current $40 device, amortized to "just" 3 years (with x2 devices): $80, or $2.22/month
This makes the Apple "flagship" device around 10.5-14.5 times more expensive (if you expect 3 or 5 years from the Apple) than a mere three years from the budget Android. This begs the question -- are you getting 10-14 times more value from it?

You're so close. You're almost there.
Every 3 years, I said 36 months. There are 12 months in a year, last I checked. And I had to do that anyways with a flagship phone since they developed issued at the same rate.
And it's really not that hard. Both Apple and Android have transfer tools that move everything over with little interaction from the user -- just a few accounts to setup, some preferences....all it takes is a few minutes in an afternoon. I don't see how hard that really can be...?
"use a budget shit phone (sorry, an $80 phone is just going to run at bare minimum speeds and the display will be hot garbage too)"
Moto G Stylus 2025. $40, inclusive of taxes. 8gb of ram, 128gb built-in storage, microSD card expansion.
Screen seems good enough for me, everything is pretty snappy on it. Then again, I don't live on my device -- so those who have a mobile surgically grafted onto their hands may feel differently.
"Yes, I will gladly pay 3.5x the price"
And math, once again, seems to be an issue here -- it's not 3.5x the price for what I paid for mine. It's 10-14x the price. Fourteen. Times.
I agree. If I purchased a phone for less than $100, then I wouldn't worry about preserving the device's battery either.

Perhaps part of the issue is that you are purchasing devices that are less than $100? Even if your device lasts only 1 year, you are getting a great TCO. But it's also not surprising if a $100 phone isn't able to last more than 3 years.
Also, if you are purchasing sub $100 devices, then you will likely have a different, but still very valid, opinion on how to treat them than someone who spends even $400.

I was assuming you meant a new, non-low end phone. Those can often be had for under $100, but they come attached to an expensive phone plan.

I must be lucky then. My launch Pixel 8 Pro XL still works great. My kids' Pixel 6a phones still work fine. The iPad I purchased for my daughter in 2020 for virtual learning has a crack in the screen, but she still uses it daily. The Samsung Galaxy Ultra (S21+) and Zebra TC phones in my lab at work are all working fine. Well, the TC75x devices are pretty slow. But they are about 9 years old now, and had modest processing power to begin with. If the manufactures planned for these devices to be obsolete, then they did a poor job with mine.

When those devices expire just as soon as budget devices, what's the difference?
