No, because of reliability. Either you have a connector or a spring neither is good for reliability

  When was the last time you've heard of a phone that failed due to a broken battery connector? Phones are already designed as throwaway trash to be discarded in 18 months (and if you somehow keep it for longer, the software industry will happily make it almost unusable within the next 2 years). Reduced reliability of a battery connector isn't a meaningful topic, and it never was - not even in the old dumbphone days.

    My Galaxy Nexus would often shut down due to a loose battery connector. It was a widespread problem and the workaround was to fold paper or tinfoil at the bottom of the battery to push it against the connector.

    I've personally had two phones fail because of the battery connector. Anec-data for sure, but those spring clips are not robust at all.
