I’ve always viewed this feature as similar to the plastic covering you sometimes see on old people’s couches. Sure, it makes the thing last longer, but at the expense of being notably worse the entire time you own/use the thing. I’m not crippling my device just to marginally increase its resale value some point down the line. If the concern isn’t resale/trade-in value, then it makes even less sense because it’s going to be YEARS before your battery life that you’re intentionally throwing away 20% of is going to be less than someone who uses the full capacity but has a slightly more degraded battery.
