      And requires heating + prying.

      If this is considered replaceable, I wonder what an non-replaceable battery would be. Soldered to the main board and trying to unsolder it causes a failsafe to short the CPU?

        Non replaceable batteries are on iPhones, since they are paired with the motherboard, and if you replace it, iOS will keep warning you every day about a non genuine battery presents in your device.
