I’m probably in the minority, but I’ll take slimmer, lighter and better sealed over user replaceable batteries. I’ve been using iPhones since changing from Androids to a iPhone 7, primarily because of getting tired of UIs changing constantly and not getting updates after a year or two. I know Samsung and Pixel phones do better with the updates now, but I think this would be more relevant to legislate about, instead of battery replacement.

The company would bid on government contracts, knowing full well they promised features that didn’t exists and never would, but calculating that the fine for not meeting the specs was lower than the benefit of the contract and getting the buyers locked into our system. I raised this to my boss, nothing changed and I quit shortly after.
