examples: We're looking at the most recent unibody white MacBook here; the first to contain batteries that aren't considered user-serviceable by Apple.
Aesthetics (ID, industrial design) are another obvious reason to go that route, with designers opting for a fluid, unibody motif, since sealed phone body is a beautifully crafted device "... created from a single piece of polycarbonate with precision machined details." This ID design philosophy is in a direct conflict with customers' desire of extended use of their purchased phones; that is, when the sealed battery fails to function because of the limited charging cycles, and a replacement is needed.
Many persons miss this option to simply put in a new battery when the old one is defective as the unibody designs started to take over.
