Ok, you got a replaceable battery. Now when you replace it you not only have old battery but also the hard shell for that battery to throw out. The same goes for storage. You don't have soldered storage, you have cased SDD. How is this any better than Apples solution?

You throw away (recycle) the old battery and recycle or repurpose the SSD and replace it.

If they're soldered you need to replace everything. How is that not worse?
