I think batteries should be replaceable, but not necessarily customer replaceable. When I got a new battery for my iPhone SE I spent €30 on it (in total: battery + labour costs). I think that's a reasonable amount for a repair/replacement. It's not even super-hard to do and could have done it myself, but I don't have the right tools and didn't feel like buying them as I'm unlikely to use them for other things. There are real advantages to "battery packs" like this too: it makes the devices smaller, cheaper, sturdier, and overall just better, with the downside that replacing the battery is more difficult. But as long as it can be done in ~20 minutes by a technician it seems an acceptable trade-off to me.
