No one is debating that the battery is glued in.
No one is debating that this was a choice made.

What was being debated was that this was some plot by the companies selling these devices to force them into upgrading needlessly.
It is a plot to get people to upgrade. Apple started this by coming out with t he iPhone that didn't have a user replaceable battery. Apple also EOLs devices that don't need to be EOLed because they can run the current firmware they are not allowed to install. Kobo is different because they are supporting more Readers then any other company. Amazon EOLed the PW3 when they came out with 5.12.5.

Before Apple and the iPhone, cell phones had replaceable batteries. Other companies saw this as "If we also have no user replaceable battery", we'll get more sales when people replace their phones when the battery needs to be replaced".
