Really? Assuming you think this is a bad thing because phones with replceable batteries are bulkier and less durable, we're still affected by this outside the EU, we just didn't have any say in the matter.
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.
