    It’s only making it more expensive for themselves. They want to have two production lines for two separate models… Well that effects their profit margin.

        Is it though or is this just them being spiteful?

        How often do the batteries in the non-user replaceable version fail, they can’t have the failure rate be too high or else word would get around. So they’re doing this against the cost of some theoretical future benefit may very well not come to pass. I suspect this decision hasn’t been properly costed out.
