If Tesla packs have a low premature failure rate there's no reason to make them easy to take apart, but it would make them structurally weaker, heavier and/or more expensive.
So Tesla does not plan for the cells to fail. They plan for them to succeed.

That is all well and good but in reality things do fail. Tesla is greatly increasing the customer’s risk if all the electronics in the car are one non-servicible unit.
