The Jolla C and Aquafish, which are reasonably recent devices, still allow that though. But the real trouble is to find replacement batteries, and Jolla is arguably a bit underground anyway so the question is different with them. I believe Fairphone 2 allows that too, but it's the same, it's a niche product which made a point (a selling point) in being easily serviceable, which is possible only because the vast majority of other manufacturers do not make that choice.

Another reason is simpler : many Android users buy new smartphones each year, because their smartphones use Android, i.e., become slow, full of WhatsApp files, not working at all, etc.
So no need to have new battery if the life cycle of the smartphone is just about 1 year.
Ohh I forgot climate threat is just hoax...

None of those devices have ever been reset to factory defaults. On the other hand, none of them have ever had Whatsit installed on them.

well, whatsup is used for transfering a lot of media files. Delete them. Or some of them from time to time and that's it. Internal storage has nothing to do with how slow the device is. It's mostly because of android itself and OEM bloatware plus users (cr)apps that are just piling up with 86358962587 background services running 24/7. My Z2 tablet is close to one year without restart and still run as fast as after restart. With official MM FW, just rooted. uneducated users are the problem, not that much android as such.
EDIT: to be precise, 303 days without restart.

Yeah, uneducated users are the problem... because they agree to use Android
PS: I don't use WhatsApp. Android just to test some softwares.
