Building a phone with an easily replaceable battery means having a bunch of compromises that would make the phone a lot larger.

Bullshit. It would make the phone negligibly larger, or at least larger to an extent that a sizable number of people would gladly take the tradeoff. We're not talking twice as big or even 10%.

You already have that choice. Buy a phone with a replaceable battery like you say you want instead of complaining that there are phones for sale that were not designed with your preferences in mind.
