Lie = disagree. A removable battery requires more protection around it, and a way to open the case or remove the battery. That reduces design freedom. If you want to get technical every battery is removable, just not easily. Not everything inconvenient is necessarily a conspiracy to shackle you. BTW even when batteries are removable, try getting a genuine OEM battery a few years later, and one that hasn't sat on a shelf for years deteriorating.
