> Other niche features like water resistance

For myself, and nearly everyone I know, water resistance is a must have and battery replacement is the "niche feature". I've lost WAY more phones due to water related accidents than I have to bad batteries.

If phones were more repairable, then water wouldn't destroy the whole phone and you'd maybe just have to buy a new battery.

There were mil spec phones 15 years ago that had removable batteries and were completely waterproof
