These are all electronic devices. You can also just put big warnings in software instead of calling it 125%.
It's not any different from filling up a blender, water bottle, etc. to 80% instead of 100% to avoid creating a mess. Sooner or later people will know to avoid charging batteries to 100%.

Unfortunately their capitalist asses probably want you to reduce the battery life faster and buy a new device, which helps boost sales, boost revenue, boost shareholder happiness, boost stock price, and ultimately boost CEO net worth
