We actually have this thing in Australia called swap n go. It's pretty ubiquitous in hardware stores and petrol stations- you bring in an empty lpg gas canister, swap it for a full one.
Granted there's probably a monopoly behind it, but that's not locked to a fuel station
Yeh, that's pretty common. But a gas bottle is a lot cheaper than a battery, and testing a gas bottle is cheaper as well.
Swappable batteries could work, but there is a lot of risk involved
Lotta risk involved in storing gas like that back in the day too. We adapt.
