I hear the same argument about EVs, where many charge to 80%. Sometimes you need that extra juice, and by all means use it. Other times you're only going to the grocery store, or sitting at your desk all day, and you can stay plugged in and you don't really need that 20%. It's no real skin off your nose either way.

Then, years from now when you need as much energy as your battery can give, you haven't lost it to degradation and you really haven't lost much along the way.
