Batteries weigh more than ports though.

The hands have 360 rotation. It’s not impossible to make a reliable continuous rotation connector, but they aren’t as reliable and durable as you’d want in a daily use device.

Makes sense to save development costs on a funky connector. It also makes upgrades simpler later on since it’s a simpler connection.
