I used cell phones for a decade before I got an iphone. They all had replaceable batteries, but I never bought an extra battery, and I never knew anyone who did. Seriously, not one person.
The advantage of non-user replaceable batteries is that can get more power in a smaller area because the battery is custom made for the phone.
