Well, no. It seems to be something that spilled over from the smartphone usage patterns. Because for notebooks which are plugged in, the notebook is supplied from the power network and the battery gets charged only if necessary, by applying intelligent logic. For example my Legion notebook only charges the battery when it's below a certain threshold. Think this is by now the case even with the most low-end notebooks. Plus the non-linear nature of consumption on a developer notebook makes the battery as power supply for serious work un-reliable. Try running a few database containers in your local environment while sitting in a one-hour conference pair-programming with video on and tell me how far you get with that 100% charged battery ;)
