Good. Non-replaceable batteries benefit no one but device manufacturers and miners of lithium, cobalt, etc.

I don’t think it would really benefit or harm the lithium miners and battery manufacturers - in fact it might benefit them more if they could sell their batteries directly to consumers and skip the middleman, keeping those profits for themselves.

Ha yeah, I’ll just buy more batteries so I can always be able to pop in a spare, sigh.
