You're confusing swappable with replaceable.

It's not for when you run out of power its for when the battery stops holding a charge. Phones almost always last much longer than their batteries.

I’m not, I’m just explaining why swap-ability is no longer as necessary or useful as it once was, and unlikely to make a comeback.

Smartphones have always had replaceable batteries, and in the case of the iPhone, they’ve been compliant with the upcoming EU battery regulation since the iPhone 16 or so.
