Not AA/AAA, but a standardized battery sizes/connector would go a long way. Power tools as well.
Going down that rabbit hole, we’ve got piles of old toys/appliances that could be fixed if only they had more standardized parts instead of everyone being able to have custom parts so long as they can do a large enough volume, and if you’re shipping world wide (probably rebranding them in different regions/stores) a lot of companies can do that. I hate to think how much waste is created when one part of it dies.
