I don't see why being water resistant needs to be mutually exclusive with replaceable batteries and sd cards. My S5 has survived being dropped in water, and it has both a replaceable battery and sd card. Maybe other phones can go deeper and longer, but I'm not scuba diving with the damn thing. When I drop it in water, I fish it out right away...

You can even have a real headphone jack and maintain a high degree of waterproofing. I think eliminating the ability for people to replace batteries and use SD cards has more to do with saving manufacturing costs and encouraging people to replace their phones more frequently.
