The whole reason they don't have waterproof and batteries that are replaceable solely comes down to having a screw and seal setup like Sonim phones have.
It's a modern marketing excuse. The old iPods were sure as shit not rugged (spinny disk) but they always had sealed batteries. The iPhone has continued this tradition.
Furthermore, when the iPod line was new, Apple didn't even offer battery replacements. This led to an early 2003 era viral video, and only after backlash did Apple not charge the price of a new iPod to replace the battery.
You had to buy DIY kits with special case opening tools to do it as well. You are literally being fleeced by Apple marketing for something that was only an excuse now, and when HTC also got rid of swappable batteries they got shit for it. But Apple is like Microsoft, wait long enough and you'll forget (see the Series S).
