Read my message Bitt. Apple has many reasons, including cost. It's not "ulterior" though. Just a standard part of doing business.

Having an internal battery also cuts down on plastics and other waste, both pre and post consumer.

I completely agree. But I also think this is the case with products from most manufacturers, including Nikon and Canon to relate to the photo examples you mentioned.

I don't think anyone ever build the best possible. It's always the "best possible considering."

We can sit here all day, for multiple days, coming up with reasons for the change and reasons why/how they could have done it differently.
