You can take it into an Apple Store and they will replace the battery and recycle the old one. Cost varies by device but I suspect it'll cost $200 or so. Far less than replacing the device.
This isn't a conspiracy. If you want a thin (and light) device, you have to make compromises. A user replaceable battery on a MacBook will add a slight amount of thickness and weight (same with soldered vs in soldered components). I totally understand if you're not a fan of it, but in that case you probably ought to buy a ThinkPad instead.

- joshvm 11y agoWhich isn't that bad, that's the same price as buying a replacement battery for my 2008 MB 5,1. I think I paid around £80 for the last one. At least you're not being charged any extra for servicing.
- DiabloD3 11y agoMy Late 2012 MBPr 13" has battery problems. Shuts off without warning at about 60%. Still under AppleCare, it will cost me nothing to fix. Apparently 2012-gen batteries have known issues and die far sooner than they should be.
