Good. It's kind of fucked up that it even had to be voted on.

I deeply hope that non-user-replaceable batteries will be outlawed too, because mobile phones with non-replaceable batteries failed to co-exist with user-replaceable battery phones.

This is what sucks when I purchased my most recent phone. I didn't realize how bad it's gotten until I was shopping for a new phone and no one made them anymore with removable batteries.

In general, yes. But if it's a technical requirement to get waterproof phones, I'd consider buying those phones and it'd be a reasonable trade-off to make. But when generally speaking all phones have non-removable batteries and most aren't waterproof, you know something is wrong.
