Another reason they don't make batteries removable is to avoid competition in that area.

If you could remove an iPhone's battery, for example, companies would begin producing 'alternative', larger batteries which you can buy and use instead.

If that were the case, apple would have no control over the quality/standard of third-party batteries, meaning its likely some somewhere would cause issues with the phone one day. Then apple would begin getting complaints they cannot deal with.

They prefer having full control over everything so they can be sure their devices never have issues.
