I hate it too.
The battery in this case is sealed. As difficult as it was to disconnect and remove, I am wondering what some Tire Monkey at Walmart, or Sam's, or Costco would do to the fuse block assembly when selling and replacing your battery.
Also it locks you into using the exact same battery as a replacement. Any difference in height like battery caps will not fit.
Another thing that bothered me was ALL of the threaded studs (there were 7 of them of three different sizes) were mildly oxidized. They were difficult to turn the nuts off of. The nuts were cleaning out the threads as I removed them. All of this in 5 years and 50,000 miles. So there may still be some acid fumes coming out of the sealed battery. I could spin them back on with my fingers. I took them off a second time and covered the threads with anti-oxidation grease.
