macOS actually does that somehow indeed. Not exactly, but it does prevent charge when it “guesses” the computer will stay plugged in for a long time based on previous usage.

Which isn't a solution, I just want a toggle so I know it works. I don't want to train some hidden logic so it correctly guesses what I want based on what someone on the other side of the planet assumed my usage pattern looks like.

…for you. For me, I am perfectly content with the algorithm deciding, and then me, deciding when I know I am going to be disconnected outside of my normal usage pattern…telling the machine to charge it to a 100%.

Not builtin, but possible: https://apple.stackexchange.com/a/406961
ChromeOS too.
iOS too, most of android phones too, etc. And well, most of PCs too… https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/use-smart-chargi...
