I couldn't agree more, but my main use-case for wireless charging is my desktop cradle. I keep my phone sitting in it during the day and it maintains 100% charge until I leave for the day.

I wouldn't try to do a deep charge from like 50% of something wirelessly... I've got better things to do!

Keeping the battery fully charged when you don't need to likely wears it out faster. 50% charged would be ideal for longevity, it seems.

Longevity? Pssh, these are Apple products! The hardware may last years, but Planned obsolescence is baked into the OS

Yeah, the only platform with 8+ years support definitely has planned obsolescence.

Isn’t phone 100% less than the actual 100% of the battery and has been for a long time? And is it really worse than doing more discharge cycles?
