        Pretty sure that has almost nothing to do with it.

        There are other non-smartphone consumer electronics with IP68 and user replaceable batteries.

      What do you mean you can’t? Sure, it takes an unnecessary amount of work, which is fucking stupid, but it is still absolutely doable at home (in most cases)

        Most people literally do not have the technical knowledge for that.

        Just because I own the tools and can do it myself misses the larger issue of this being anti-consumer in general.

        Consumers shouldn’t need to have those kind of skills to change a battery.

        you need to heat the phone up and mess about with the internals, even as a tech person i don’t want to risk fucking up my phone like that.
