It's an enormous pain in the ass to get user removeable batteries and their compartments certified by various regulatory bodies. It can cause delays in the product release as a custom battery has a huge lead time, leaving next to no time to get it certified.

Delays are often costlier than a handful of ticked off customers, so I can completely understand Apple's decision.

I call BS on this one. I have experience in this. You have the same number of regulatory groups to go through having a removable battery then having a non removable battery. In fact apple most likely didn't even have to get the battery itself certified since its made by SOMEONE ELSE.
