Yes.

Probably a combination of the devices being old enough and the battery not being large enough that a lot of people would not find 80% of the already-degraded capacity of their device reasonable, and not wanting to have to explain to customers why their friend’s phone allows it and theirs doesn’t if they both have the same model.
