Most people also don't drive 400km+ in "daily usage." When they do they charge to 100%. Just like in a gas car you don't fill the tank 100% every day. But you do before a long trip. Can you imagine the article "well acshually, your gas car daily range is much lower because you don't usually start with a full tank!"

We went on several long trips with this car (600-800km), with all the bathroom breaks we didn’t really notice the charging much. Took maybe half an hour longer than with an ICE. And that’s with the first gen Ioniq, with quite low range. I bet with an Ioniq 5 we wouldn’t notice any difference at all.
