Engineers have become experts in selecting components so that they fail right after the warranty period.
Replaceable batteries just means they will make something else weaker instead, preferably something that fries the device once it fails (see https://youtu.be/7cNg_ifibCQ?t=238 https://youtu.be/7cNg_ifibCQ?t=238).
