I don't know how much glue was involved but Galaxy S5 was waterproof and had a user replaceable battery.

There was no glue, you just popped out the back panel and took the battery out with your fingers in 5 seconds.

On the other hand, it did have a plastic cap on the micro USB port which you had to open every time in order to charge it. I'm not sure if this was a limitation of micro USB (or whatever the Samsung-specific extension next to it was) - modern phones with open USB C ports seem to have no problem being waterproof.

Tangentially, the S5 had a USB 3.0 micro b port[1]. It was not Samsung specific, but it was not widely used either.

No, it was not "waterproof". It had an IP67 water/dust rating, which is inferior to the IP68 rating achieved by current iPhones.

Stop repeating something you clearly know nothing about.

IP67 is as "waterproof" / "immersion proof" as IP68. Both must withstand 1 meter immersion depth up to 30 minutes. The only advantage as far as I can tell is up to the manufaturer "The test depth and duration is expected to be greater than the requirements for IPx7": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_Code

IP68 is not 'waterproof', Samsung Galaxy XCover Pro is IP69 rated and has an SD card
