If the battery’s capacity is true as the listing says then why is it bad if I replace a 2-3 year old flagship’s battery with a fake one? How is it worse than having an old OEM battery that doesn’t even last the whole day? Apart from this it is nearly impossible to get the original battery for a lot of phones anyways..
And you may say that it would damage your phone, well how often does that even happen?

A non-OEM battery has likely not undergone sufficient quality control.
On the contrary, the battery production industry will often use battery cells that are known to have failed quality tests for non-OEM batteries, as they are otherwise worthless and expensive to dispose of, so selling them to some sucker that wants to save a few bucks is a best-case scenario if you don’t care about morals.
A battery that has failed quality control may have a drastically shorter lifespan, and more importantly (and the reason why there’s a lot of focus on non-OEM batteries) is that a battery that has failed quality control can spontaneously burst into flames and can also emit toxic gasses during this fire. Obviously, your phone won’t survive that, and depending on where you are at the time, you and your loved ones might not either.
