I’m probably in the minority, but I’ll take slimmer, lighter and better sealed over user replaceable batteries. I’ve been using iPhones since changing from Androids to a iPhone 7, primarily because of getting tired of UIs changing constantly and not getting updates after a year or two. I know Samsung and Pixel phones do better with the updates now, but I think this would be more relevant to legislate about, instead of battery replacement.
This is one gamble I am willing to make.
Some people just don’t get much of a beard naturally. An interesting thing is that you can actually use minoxidil (Rogaine) on your face and still grow one.
I’ve resigned twice in my career following that type of communication. Both were smallish startups outperforming the other company, which then acquired them and proceeded to turn everything to shit.

De la France? Maybe the driver is from France. Was it perhaps a Renault or Citroen?
I know it doesn’t sound as much, but it’s one example and it is still 1.5mm thicker than my iPhone and ip67 instead of ip68. If it turns out, I have nothing to worry about then great, but atm I know what I have and gain nothing from user replaceable batteries as I’ve never had a phone/iPad where I wanted to change the battery. Others may prefer differently.
