I’ve never owned a smartphone with a removable battery and I don’t feel like I ever needed one.

As a mostly iPhone user, will this mean we go back to phones with plastic bodies?

Replaceable batteries were great. I could keep phones going for years until Samsung started pumping out bloated software updates that slowed them down.

When we had replaceable batteries you could just buy a new one and performance issues would be corrected almost immediately. Apple was sneaky AF about this back in the day, throttling performance in an attempt to increase battery life, something that wouldn't be needed if you could easily swap out the battery every few years
