They already often do and manufacturers usually deny warranty due to water ingress which is really ridiculous on a supposedly waterproof phone.
At least this way it's easier to check and clean.
Also, the circuit boards themselves can be conformal coated leading to it not being such a big deal when water gets in.

- wkat4242 2y agoIt doesn't really matter. In practive it's only usable as minor rain protection anyway. I'm not bringing my phone into the shower. And like people have mentioned, the most rugged phones do have replaceable batteries. I used to have an Xcover for hiking and it never had any issues with water ingress either.
