If you need more power it's better to have a powerbank around that can be used for various devices. Standard powerbanks are also cheaper than e-ink batteries and comes in various shapes and sizes.
If your battery breaks and needs replacement you just need a screwdriver and fiddle with it a little.
Making batteries replaceable requires a complete redesign of hardware and less space for other components - In my opinion it's not worth it.

A "complete redesign of hardware" seems like hyperbole? For most of the devices I've seen, the physical specs change with each new model, so I'm not sure I see a problem.
I don't want a powerbank, I want to be able to replace the battery when it goes bad, or starts to degrade (especially for phones and tablets).
IMO, a replaceable battery is worth it and I would prefer one.
