>plug in and let charge to 90%, unplug and use for a couple of hours, plug back in at 50% or so, rinse and repeat.

or set your power drivers to do it for you.

It already exists. E.g. The Dell laptop I currently own already has it as part of some or other pre-installed software.

That's assuming that devices don't already operate in this range of SOC within device...which I wouldn't believe to be true.

Yes, I didn't (/don't) know about that. I believed the charging cycle would have become intelligent by now, but thought then this whole thread wouldn't come up if that was the case.
