[edit: deleted, echo chamber here. Android good, Apple bad. Moving on and blocking this community, can’t have a reasonable conversation, just like reddit I guess].
The difference is that most of the people isn’t expected to own a mechanical watch, but having a smartphone is pretty much expected. You cannot treat a basic commodity as if it were a luxury item.
Would it have been appropriate when everyone had mechanical watches? Nope. Not then either.
How about another analogy, most people own cars (at least in North America), how about the government putting laws in place that car manufacturers change their designs so that everyone’s mother is able to swap an engine by opening up the hood and unplugging one plug, lifting the old one out and putting the new one in?
It’s probably even technically possible, but what business does the government have in making that decision on everyone’s behalf.
How is this an Android vs Apple thing? Most of the major manufacturers are making devices with the battery sealed in; they’ll all have to innovate ways of making them removable.

People disagreeing with you isn’t what an echo chamber is.
