Sure, yet that can’t overcome the inherent limitations of the technology. These batteries can’t survive generations, at least not with useable energy density. The best we can do is to require manufacturers of devices to not make it unnecessarily difficult to replace cells while balancing this with the need for safety and function.

I’ve a laptop from 98 that has cells in a sealed plastic battery pack. That battery could have been screwed shut, as opposed to glued. If screwed then I could have more easily replaced the cells. It can’t simply be designed to pop open as that would be dangerous to uniformed users.
