Once that happens battery makers would quickly start making batteries for the new machines, so that we wouldn't be dependent on the manufacturer to supply the batteries, but of course they would so as to not get shut out.
All of my phones, have replaceable batteries, my Note 2 is 5 years old and still going strong, I've replaced the battery about 3 times.

My phone also has a user replaceable battery. You've got to wonder why if some phones have it, they all don't. Obviously it's not an insurmountable manufacturing obstacle.
