Single component sourcing is important in manufacturing cost management.
Using the same battery and charger would mean two less sets of tests and compliance ratings.

Also looking at the teasers and extracted photos.
The camera body is too slim for the battery to fit anywhere other than in the handgrip so this allows a curved shape for the battery to have cylindrical cells more easily but there is no reason why not a squared edged battery.
Battery size is limited so it is not possible to fit an EN-EH18.


I take your point though.
