It essentially means that anyone can just keep making phones like that. Personally I'd take IP67/IP68 over "user replaceable battery" any day as it still can be replaced but to me watertightness is one of the most important features for such device. I already had two "waterproof" phones with replaceable battery but both were leaking water inside (Galaxy S5 and Motorola Defy).
