The minimalistic ones sell a lot because they're cheap.  This one is
expensive and rather maximalistic.  The purpose of the maximalism, as
mentioned, is to get rid of extra boards.  If your device is going to
need a charger anyway, then that's an obvious extra board to get rid of.
It's possible that the designer intended for the user to disconnect the
battery for charging--the supercap backing up the RTC would seem to help
that.

The Adafruit Feathers all have chargers, so it's obviously considered a
useful feature by someone.  I think there's a level of maker courtesy to
not copy each others' features too much, so that might be part of what's
going on here.  I can respect it if that's the case.  For my own
purposes I don't care about the SPI flash that much, but I do care about
the RTC, which is a separate board for the Feathers.  There's also
currently no Cortex M4 Feather, just some M0's and some Atmegas.
