I think they actually will do just that. Look at the Wikipedia page for any iPhone and you’ll see that each model has multiple regional SKUs. China has a SIM card tray while the US doesn’t.
I think smartphone makers will make the battery rectangular and put it in a convenient spot and then make a different rear case part just for Europe.
The rest of the world phones will have perhaps the exact same “removable” battery but it will be behind a case that has no door.
