  There are plenty of waterproof devices with replaceable batteries.

  The idea you have to seal in the battery (and the device goes to landfill instead of getting a replacement) is a myth.

    Of course it can be made waterproof with a replaceable battery, but would you trust your grandma to swap such a battery so that it stays waterproof?

    Would you want to be the customer support for a device like that with a billion users? The amount of idiots failing to close the case properly and drowning their device is staggering, and the idiots are usually the ones who call CS to complain…
