Why is that sad? I can understand why companies don’t want to pay just to get a certification when the phone itself is up to standards regardless

"It's easier to make the phone waterproof if the battery is not user-serviceable" is a common argument; if it's really true, way more phones should be waterproof even if not IP-certified (which understandably costs money and raises the end price).

Samsung Galaxy S5 would like to have a word. IP67 while having user-detachable battery cover.

One of the very few phones like this.
