The battery compartment needs a door and some kind of hinge or other way to hold it in place and the necessity of it can limit the design possibilities. I agree with you that replaceable batteries are a good idea. I don't really mind if the device costs a few dollars more to have that or if it's a little thicker. But I'm me and the general public often has other ideas.
