What Apple charges to replace the battery is roughly what a replaceable battery from Apple would cost.
The time Apple takes to replace the batter is roughly how long it would take me to unpackaged a replaceable battery myself.
The only drawback to Apple's choice (and incidentally just about every other manufacturer's as well) is that I have to drive to a location rather than having a replacement battery delivered.
So there's a drawback, but it's not as drastic as people seem to imagine. I suspect most people are just unaware that Apple (or third parties) will perform this task so cheaply.
