They have. That’s why the regulators are making these laws.

You're aware that not every personal preference has to be enforced by law, correct? You can express your preferences without calling for any form of government action whatsoever.

It’s pro consumer because it benefits consumers

No, it benefits some consumers. I, for one, very much would not benefit from this. Batteries replaceable to the standard the EU wants absolutely have downsides, primarily concerning space, meaning either larger devices, or smaller batteries, and in some cases, likely both. For example, if you open up a modern iPhone, you'll find that the battery takes up every nook and cranny it could be fit into. And the phones still maintain a slim design. That shit is basically outright impossible to make under this standard of idiot-serviceability. And because I'm perfectly fine with having to use big scary tools like a soldering iron and heat gun, I have exactly zero problems with buying devices that would require them for service, especially so considering the benefits.

Most people lack the skills to replace a built-in battery and official stores rarely do replacements, so it’s down to a 3rd party shop which is difficult for less knowledgeable consumer to find.

Which doesn't fucking impact me at all. I'm not a less knowledgeable consumer. So why should I be stuck playing by rules for their benefit?

I don’t see any argument you could make about usb-c or removable batteries hindering your usage of the device

USB c isn't some pinnacle of design. You seriously find it unthinkable that any cable could ever be superior in any way? And I already covered downsides to the idiot-servicable batteries.

Most countries mandate that products come with a warranty. I haven’t heard anyone saying “what if I want to buy a product without a warranty?” Because why would you?

More examples of regulations isn't an argument for further regulations because law is not inherently self justifying.
