No mention of degradation as a result of recharge cycles. So many of my electronic devices have had to be disposed of because the battery would no longer hold a charge. This is also a big factor in EVs and their loss of value over time.

It is a big issue only for the ignorant (which is great for those that buy used). EV batteries are warranted for 60%-70% of capacity at eight years, which means most manufacturers expect batteries to do better, and actual real world experience shows much better.
