Pay extra for labor on top of parts, and theres a good chance theyll screw something up like the waterproofing seal or leave a loose connection that you won't notice until weeks later. Then you have to take it back and convince them its their fault and wait even longer while they hopefully don't screw the phone up even worse.

Yeah that definitely sounds more convenient than a removable battery.

You must be strongly opposed to right to repair, since repair shops are incompetent to even replace a battery in your view.

Right to repair means being able to replace the battery without risking damage to the device
