If this is a product a significant slice of the smartphone-owning public want, then why isn’t it already on sale ?

Because its simply not as profitable as the alternative. Same reason why companies continue pushing subscription services despite the average consumer being sick of paying monthly for services(0).

Maybe its just me, but I'd happily trade raw single battery capacity for the ability to swap in new batteries at will.
Not only does it make battery replacements easier, you don't need to carry bulky power banks around as all you need is 1-2 spare batteries to swap into your phone and instantly be at 100% again.
