To be fair though, I've never heard of a modern phone battery swelling. That's something that will happen years after it's EOL, and at that point the company is no longer obligated to supply a replacement (as ideal as that would be).
An integrated battery allows the company to minimize the size and design of the phone. It's not 100% greed and planned obsolescence, though its virtually guaranteed those are components of the design decision.
It was only 6 years ago Samsung note 7's were exploding all over the place.
As for chargers eu has already mandated usb-c interface so that's already solved.
Yeah, it was so big of a meme that there were popular mods for GTA replacing explosive charges with Note 7's.

It is/was a huge problem with the Pixel 3
It happened to my Pixel 4a.
at least eu already made usb-c the standard
