Went to Samsung service centre they said I've to take risk if anything goes wrong while getting my Samsung A80 battery replaced so I denied and walked out.. Hope Samsung will also provide spare parts directly to consumers in India as well.

Xcover Series have removable batteries still ip68 albeit abit thick. I believe nokia also had one but forgot what model.
All in all it all comes down to companies whether they want to or not & engineers make it.
Then again where in an era of money making by making consumers buy new phones as short as possible.

apple or samsung does not matter. I don't understand why anyone would try to replace his own screen or battery instead of an experienced repair center. just to save $15-20 of service cost?

It seems like google has been the best with right to repair. At least google sells batteries by themselves, and supports older models from 2017+, and their parts aren't stupid expensive like apple & Samsung's official parts.
