I don't like the 80% option because every time I'm leaving the house for extended periods, going hiking or traveling I think "is it worth it to go through 3 settings screens to take an extra 15% charge with me?" 15% is a micro optimization and it was easier when there was no option and I never thought about it. I want to think about other things, not my phone's battery capacity.

Yeah but in android or something this would be just another "quick settings tile" like the "flashlight" or "night light" or "battery saving mode". You could call it "overcharge mode" or "extra battery mode", and like the "night light" mode it would get disabled once you reach a full charge, so you don't have to dig into settings to turn it off again.
