I'm not really disagreeing.

Most likely they focus on it as a benchmark so people can compare brands of batteries. If battery A is good for 1000 cycles, but battery B is good for 1500 cycles,...

That may be surprising, as a colossal amount of lithium production is coming on line over the next few years. expect a collapse in prices and they become ubiquitous.

Well, the 50% rule is there because there are SO MANY variables. It's presented as the safe approach, which it's still hard to argue that it's not.
