Elite Controller totally worth the $$

I personally prefer rechargeable batteries. That's why I had to buy Play and charge kit and the wireless adapter to play PC games using the Xbox one controller. It almost cost me £100 to be able to use the controller wirelessly, which I don't mind. But both, the Wii U pro controller and the dual-shocker come with rechargeable batteries right out of the box. It's time to catch up.

This, for a 150$ controller not to be rechargable is just crazy to me

Would you rather want to be forced to pay $175 for it?

because the controller is meant to be the (at least) 2nd controller for an X1 owner. Those either already have a play and charge kit or prefer to play with regular AA batteries.
Thus the question is: Why pay $25 extra when you already have a play and charge kit?
If there's no one else with whom you regularly play local multiplayer, AA batteries for the standard controller will suffice.
