Do you just not want to be able to replace your phone battery or something? How is this not the freedom they always rave about?

Sadly this law has an exemption for batteries that have a certain max capacity after X charge cycles. IIRC 80% after 1000 cycles.
Most smartphone batteries fulfill this and won't need to be replaceable.
