TL;DW: Fast charging over 2 years only degraded the battery an extra 0.5%, even on extremely fast charging Android phones using 120W.
And with that, hopefully we can put this argument to rest.

Exactly, which is neither a user setting or relatively new. Battery manufacturers have always had to decide what voltage is what state of charge (percent).
The user setting where you limit it to 80% is on top of what the previous commenter was describing
Sure, if the manufacturer sets it to not charge to the max. I’m saying some manufactured charge to the max by default, hence why that setting is useful.
I think you’re leaning too much into the false assumption that “the max” is some final and definite thing.
Batteries aren’t charged from “empty” to “max”, there is no “max”. They’re charged from one voltage level to another which isn’t in a percentage value. How do you think your phone knows what percentage a battery is at?
