they also tend to leak out more consistently than they keep the battery juices in, which is a massive pain to clean up...

for an extra $0.45/battery, you can get a genuine name brand battery that will last at least 2 years minimum.

I've never seen a lithium CR type battery leak. I have seen AA and AAA Energizer and Duracell alkaline batteries leak.
You linked to the wrong battery, a CR2032, my fob takes a CR2016, and your math is incorrect.
