Do you have any examples other than the S5, because like zero people have given any, and many have pointed out the S5 failed at "water resistance" at very high rates.
Here's 106 phones with at least IPx6 (full immersion for 30 minutes) waterproofing and removable batteries: https://www.gsmarena.com/results.php3?sIPCerts=5,6&idBatRemovable=1
They are mostly fairly old, because manufacturers have stopped making batteries removable (which is exactly why they're legislating it). Some new though, and in fact Samsung's current ultra-resilient rugged edition phones all have removable batteries: https://www.samsung.com/us/business/mobile/phones/galaxy-xcover-pro/. It's clearly possible!
