    This is a good thing. I kind of wish advertised battery capacity for devices in general was limited to the capacity that lies between 80-20% (being reported in OS as 100-0%) by default, with an opt-in for the user to utilize the full capacity if they wanted. If mandated, I bet it would increase the longevity of devices in a way that would meaningfully decrease e-waste and would encourage manufacturers to either release devices with larger batteries or focus on devices that consume less power (ideally both).
