Use it or lose it?
Sounds like they bought the right for some future use and made the SIM ejectors to satisfy some form of "use it or lose it" clause.

Rechargables really suck for some applications. Depending on the particular technology used, self-discharge, energy density, shelf-life and performance in cold conditions can be problems.
Most of the devices which really benefit from using rechargable batteries come with them anyway nowadays. Add the cost incentive to anything that really munches batteries, and the case for banning single-use cells seems weak.
