If you discharge them first they don't have any energy in order to catch fire.

That's because it's nearly impossible to do so. Many of the places that
take small consumer batteries for recycling are not taking lithiums, due
to the (real or perceived) risk of fire.

I worry that industry won't recycle lithiums until they are *forced* to
do it. As long as it's even 1 cent cheaper to buy them new, and landfill
the waste, they will.
