The article doesn't explain the why here... it's because 2 things impact lithium ion lifetime - voltage (both high and low) and temp.

"In terms of longevity, the optimal charge voltage is 3.92V/cell."

That maps out to roughly 65% charge state.

There's a great app called AlDente for MacOS that allows you to set the charge limit while plugged in.
