That standard covers batteries, not the devices that use them...
Also it doesn't even cover the 18650s themselves since they usually have <5g of lithium in them.
It's literally just a loophole for the manufacturers: if the users can't replace batteries, you don't need to do safety testing for that scenario

I like what they are saying. It's cool to know shit. But the way they are saying it makes ya feel like you couldn't have an opinion.
