Can you keep the same water-resistant standards with a removable cover? In my head that's the main tradeoff

You can have water protection and easily replaceable battery.

Still, I'm really curious about how many people take advantage of those standards and need IP67 (30min at 1m depth) as opposed to a quick splash or rain on it, or how many buy the artificial tradeoff of water resistance over easily replaceable battery because this is all that's offered.

Yes you can! It was done with many phones in the past...
