> Plenty of users don't always fill their petrol cars due to time or budget constraints.
I don't think the "some people have time or budget constraints" is really a good reason for me to not fill up my car past 80%
The answer to "Why should I not charge my car past 80%?" doesn't seem to be "users don't always fill their petrol cars due to time or budget constraints"
> Importantly, ICE cars also have eccentricities not all users know about, such as running low on gas often prevents the fuel pump from adequate cooling.
It's not something that ever seems to have been a problem in any of the cars I've owned.
> And the 80% rule is true of mobile phones as well.
I feel like this might have been the case a long time ago, but surely modern phones with their integrated battery electronics will handle this. Sure, when I charge/discharge my gigantic LIPO batteries (robotics stuff) I have to take levels into account, but I'd expect my iPhone to just work.

Nope. This is still the case, chemistry hasn't changed; Quick Charge, Rapid charge both charge from 20-80% with much more power than 80%-100%. This is also why they don't advertise "fill up", but instead, go from 0-15% or get a half a days charge (from x%) in 15 minutes)
Accubattery analytics also show that modern cell phones w/ a charge limit maintain more battery capacity over time.
Better electronics and charge patterns DO make the top off (90-100%) better by fudging the numbers and trickle charging off an on.
