I'm not sure how they are related. USB-C was not really a technical challenge or had trade-offs. I'm not a hardware engineer but from what I've read, having an easily replaceable battery would degrade the water resistance of the phone.

Same type of concerns were raised about usb-c: more dust collects, worse connector design, would make the phones too thick, etc etc.
