Is this the reason there are so many products out there which have a clip to hold the battery door on, but then add a screw somewhere else?  I had always assumed it was more of an engineering 'cock-up', they weren't sure they'd get the plastic clip right first so want the screw just in case (and you can delete an addition to a tool easily enough.)

Yes. This is the requirement in the US.

How about childproof battery packaging? I think that would make just as much of a difference.

Been there for years. Just try opening one of those#¤%& blister packs.

Yes, they can often be difficult to open, but the reverse can also be true: I have a multipack of button cells, in which the glue has failed and they've fallen out.
