Can you not recognize that you are the exception, not the norm? MOST users do not need a spare battery or PSU. Even our salespeople, who do travel frequently, do not have these extras...and they do just fine. Believe me, if they requested them, they would get them.
You really make my point, though. Essential in this context implies required to perform a job. By your own admission, functionality is not lost; they merely make things easier and save some time---a definitive "nice-to-have."
