The cable is not supposed to be user-replaceable.

And the reason it's not USB-C is because it needs to have a locking mechanism and be ultra-robust at the ends.

I've never seen a USB-C cable with either.

From what I saw, a SIM ejector and allow the user to disconnect the cable. This is more trivia than anything, since it’s a unique connector.

I think the bigger reason behind locking the cable to the battery pack, is the same reason the cable locks to the headset. They don’t want it to come unplugged while you’re using it. If the pack falls out of your pocket, it would probably better for it to catch itself and hang, than come unplugged.
