They have in the past and then they decided, no, let's say it's too difficult and use it as one of the excuses to guarantee limited lifetime of a product.

It's still a thing. Samsung has one.

Yeah that was honestly my only concern with this. That and durability. But it doesn't really seem like a problem. Replaceable batteries also means replaceable back glass (or screen?) So that's awesome.
