> I don't want my tablet's battery to be user replaceable! not as much as I want it to be thin, and solid, and resistant to splashes

Why do you think these things are mutually exclusive? Every time some manufacture has made a phone without a replaceable battery there has been some other manufacture making a device the same or smaller or thinner or lighter that had a replaceable battery and that was splash proof proving this is not some tradeoff that has to be made.

The phone market is pretty competitive these days. Why don't you see Chinese brands capitalising on this unmet demand? They seem pretty aggressive in every other respect.
