Not a bad idea but there are flaws and this also doesn't seem to address the issue of pricing or availability.

So you can remove the battery, will you be able to buy one.
They could prevent 3rd parties from making batteries that work.
They could just not sell battery replacements.
They could add more parts needed, like seals, screws that strip too easily, that annoying sticky tape etc.

Back in 2014 you just bought a spare and replaced it, nowadays they all want to play the same bullshit games Apple innovated on. It was was about time an authority that ruled over a market with significant purchasing power made a decision against it.
