To keep depleted batteries from polluting the environment, the government of Ulm is discussing a mandate that would require residents to dispose of them through a special pickup service. To offset the costs of maintaining such a service, Ulm expects to charge a fee, which would be collected when batteries are discarded.

Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument?
【选项】
The service leaves battery makers with no incentive to develop long-lasting products.
