This is a good point. Though the battery management seems to have gotten good enough that these speed charges are less necessary.

Funny thing is the only time I run out of juice now is if I did not place my iPhone on the wireless charger straight enough. Apple spoke specifically to this pain so it must be widespread.

Yeah, that's the main cause.

Also occasionally when traveling, so combination of long days + higher than normal usage. I've got a battery case for those days that more or less doubles the built in capacity (at the cost of also basically doubling the weight)

Ya travel batteries are a good fill in for those circumstances.

I suspect Covid has had a big nerf on battery use overall.
