Apple did it first. Give it a year, and the Android flagships won't have a 3.5mm plug either.
Sealed-in batteries allow for larger batteries in a given chassis size. They also make the device more resilient against drop damage (my wife's G3's battery goes flying when she drops it from waist height), improve water/dust resistance, and make the device a lot easier to manufacture.
You simpletons.
