Extracting them with a torx driver, heat gun, and an hour's labor is not the same as a swappable battery.

You forgot the step of desperately trying to not crack anything while doing so for said hour.

Very true, but we are discussing phones, and without glue on my few year old Mac book air, it was less than 10 minutes as there was no glue. Again you're right, it ain't swappable, but it was surprisingly easier than I thought when it isn't glued.
