Water resistance.
I just don't get this. I've had to get new phones twice now because the battery life got bad enough that my phone wouldn't last even a single day on a charge, but I've never even gotten close to dropping my phone in water. Are people that clumsy that they loosely hold their phone when they're in the bathroom or on a boat? It's the same with dropping it in general - I've dropped a phone twice since getting my first smartphone in 2010, and both times it was luckily onto carpet. Yeah, survivability is nice, but it's trumped by everyday usability.
It's a pain. I love replaceable batteries too. It took me hours to change mine on my pixel. But why is it hard to get out: phones are slimmer and processor more. So you need to get the battery wedged in there and properly thermally insulated. It's a lot harder to do that while also making it easily field replaceable
