Tesla tried this. The issue of battery condition is too difficult. No one wants to swap out their brand new pack and chance getting a heavily degraded pack back. Or swap out a heavily degraded pack to be offered a new pack but with a $10k surcharge for the improved battery condition. In new electric cars the battery is a structural component so you can't really remove it to begin with.
