sure seems that way. Personally I don't buy the adverts which claim that the
lens is permanently welded to the body in order to make the digital camera
function better (keeping dust out etc.)... A simple bit of coated glass
behind the lens mount or in front of the sensor array could do that. the
real reason is it would be dearer to make the lens removable.

Wouldn't a pellicle mirror be a practical way to keep dust off the
sensor of an intechangeable lens digital SLR? That way the sensor could
remain sealed during lens changes.
