> completely depleted batteries can get permanently damaged

This never happens, though. Every device nowadays has a controller that doesn't let the batteries deplete to a dangerous level.

My WF1000XM4 had a bug where this occurred.

But that's still a bug, obviously not intended behavior. I think i would rather have unobtrusive battery notifications than worry about the possibility of a specific type of unintended behavior that can be easily and routinely prevented by the manufactured. There's all kinds of excessive and annoying safety behaviors we could be putting into our devices but most of us get by on at least a minimum of trust.
