It's mentioned in this thread here that there is the xCover model series which have user replaceable batteries still. The 6 pro was released just last year So much for manufacturers having to figure things out from ground up bollocks
I have that device. It's definitely a thick boi but in no way does it not feel "not premium". I vastly prefer the grippy texturized back cover and sides to slippery glass/aluminium. It's one of the few devices that feels great in had without a case.
Premium means different things to different people. Plastic is never premium.
Does it really even matter though? Vast majority of people are going to put it in a plastic case anyways.
