I wonder if the idea here is to encourage you to charge the headphones sooner to extend the battery's lifespan. Sure you can get another hour from that 10%, but doing that often can hurt the longevity of the battery

One can think of many better ways to engineer this protection, starting with the most common: lie to the user and never discharge the last 10%, shutting down early.
