would love to have removable batteries again

Apparently the EU passed a bill that would require companies to have batteries that could be replaced with no specialized tools and that "the process of replacement shall be able to be carried out by a layman". With a 2027 deadline

I'm aware, but i'm not in the EU nor can I expect govmts around the world to legialate away evey little anti-consumer idea those people have.

Well its not likely that the big phone brands will make specific models for just the EU because of how much extra that would cost. Like whats happening now with the USB C laws.
