Why are you stumping for less control over things you "own". Do you truly believe that the inability to access the phones battery is related to phone size?

Would it have to become a foot long clown phone to have a removable battery?

It is completely related to being watertight, and that matters to me far more than user replaceable.

Having an unreplaceable battery is not a requirement for watertightness - it certainly makes design easier but you can do both.
