Easier way to change the battery would decrease the cost of ownership by a ton and decrease the profits of EV companies also a ton. Which I guess is why it doesn't happen.

Nobody profits from EV sales except Tesla (and 1/7 Chinese companies) [1].

I don't claim that. I claim that the process could be improved by a significant margin if there was incentive to do that.
