/me puts on speculation hat
They are probably getting it out now due to the battery regulations coming in, in the EU in 2027. All of the R&D is already done and its probably too late in the lifecycle to change the design to have a removable battery. They’ll just do it on the next console.

Pretty sure EU regulations allow for batteries that are internal, but reasonably user-replaceable. The Switch’s battery is one of those.
