The European Commission has revised its battery regulations to exempt devices such as the Apple Watch from requirements that batteries be removable and replaceable by users.
The only exception I’ve seen, based on a genuine engineering challenge: IP68 and higher ratings. If the device isn’t explicitly rated for water and dust proofing such that it requires specialized tools to disassemble, it should be user replaceable
