It costs a little more to design a good removable back and they can indirectly force users to upgrade or shell out a lot of money when the battery dies.
So, given the same phone, same size, same looks, same battery capacity -- how is having a user replaceable battery not an advantage? You may not think you need it, but I don't think a reasonable argument can't be made that it won't provide additional value with no drawbacks for many users.
