I remember using the Samsung Galaxy S2 which is ancient by today's standards, but one thing I remember distinctly was how super convenient it was to be able to pull the back off and switch out the battery, it reminded me of the simplicity of swapping batteries on a DSLR camera.
Some people mentioned that you'll drop your phone and the battery will just fly out. I don't remember ever having that happen and my S2 had a rough life.
The one part I feel is valid criticism is water resistance, manufacturers will have to actually work on their designs to get IP resistance now. As much as I love waterproof phones, I'd much rather be able to have a spare battery than think about what happens if I drop it in water
