Chances are most companies aren't going to make two separate production lines with and without a removable battery. The cost likely outweighs the profit i'd wager. Much like how we see apple finally begrudgingly moving to USB-C despite no NA law requiring them to do so.
A different chip is a different scenario. We're talking about how the entire design, case etc has to accommodate for a removable battery.
