For me, it's not about being able to replace the battery more quickly, but instead being able to take out a battery that's decided it's not happy being size zero and would rather embrace its inner plus size lifestyle. Strangely enough, an enclosed device isn't happy when a sealed-in battery decides it wants to take up 3 times the space that's been allocated in the device for it.
