I don't think anyone is actually suggesting that. The very first line of the article states that the company in question looks at 1200 different metrics, one of which is phone charge cycle.
The term "charge" only actually appears in the article twice: mostly the headline is clickbait.
In this case it might not be a big deal because you might be able to find another loan provider but it might become one if this kind of automated scoring gets more common.
