you're just making excuses for corporations. casio gave me a water proof digital watch with replaceable batteries almost four decades ago and it had no issues with shock or water damage, ever. this is the silliest argument I've ever heard in defense of megacorps. what a joke.
I've had phones with replaceable batteries and those without. If my current phone were available with and without a replaceable battery (and the related reliability/cost tradeoffs), I'd probably pick the permanent battery.
what tradeoff - like you dont get to choose that replacable battery are just worse because it fits your world view.
You can design replaceable solutions to be as reliable as "permanent" ones. Have it cost 10$ more for the same reliability, you would pick the replacable battery one in a heartbeat.
