Why do you need to change the software at all to replace the battery?
I had my screen repaired under warranty by them. They factory reset to keep your data safe.
They actually make you do it, before they even touch it. They allow you to do it in store, and will guide you on how to back things up, and use their WiFi to do it.
Definitely can be annoying, but Lemmy is all about privacy, and there's no way for a company to steal your data with their fancy diagnostic tools if the phone is factory reset.
Are you even able to do a full backup, including app data and settings, on Android without using Google services (which I refuse to touch)?
I used an Assurion store to replace my screen and they didn't require a factory reset, even with Lineage
