Churn on budget smartphones is even worse than on premium phones and battery life is even more likely to be an issue on those budget phones. It's good for the budget market as well if batteries are replaceable.
It would be great if people could buy an old secondhand iPhone and replace the batteries themselves for $30-40 bucks instead of buying a $60-70 garbage phone with who-knows-what spyware and out-of-date software every 1-2 years. That companies are able to put out this kind of garbage and people are buying them is (if anything) evidence that the secondhand/repair market on smartphones isn't nearly as strong as it should be.
