i think your reply & other one does answer the question - apple is a control freak. But i still think some beancounter inside apple determined that X more profit can be made by making their batteries permanent.

Oh, of course, there will definitely be other reasons, primarily things to do with the actual design.
Having a removable battery would mean you need to include some mechanism/structure in the design to allow such removal. This would make the device heavier, probably bulkier and so on.
By making it integrated, their design remains 'seamless' and as compact as possible, that will be the main reason.
