A dot of dust appeared in a corner of the sensor... and there's no easy way to (phisically) remove it.

If the teardown is simmilar to the Mavic 2 you can get access to the sensor from the rear of the camera, and then there are a buch of screws that hold the sensor in place, the problem is that putting the sensor back in place is not that easy because DOF, in the image plane of the lens is super narrow, so not going to do it unless the problem becomes more obvious (dust in the middle of the sensor).

If the sensor is prone to get dusty (AKA, not sealed)... why not implement an autocleaner like in every single DSLR out there? My 2012 DSLR has inbuilt cleaning lol.

DSLRs employ a cleaning device because the optics are open to the air when changing lenses. The DJI drones do not have the sensor open to the air, therefore a cleaning device is not necessary, or it shouldn't be.

The drone works well... and I'm not going to return a drone just for a dot of dust in the corner of the sensor, it's not that dramatic anyways, it's more of a "what has been seen cannot be unseen" kind of thing. Hopefully it will move out of the sensor by it's own.

As a photographer I'm used to deal with dots of dust in the sensor (never manually cleaned the sensor of my Canon 6D XD), but being a full electronic camera without mechanical shutter or moving diaphragm that can't be opened I didn't expect it to happen.

By checking the videos and photos It appeared during a battery swap a few days ago, and nothing special occured; landed without the dot and then took off with the dot.

At the begining I thought it was on the lens, so cleaned it and checked it, but then I realised it was inside.
