"That would be rather dumb and useless for real world use. Battery charging curves taper off aggressively when you approach 100%."
I literally acknowledge this in the comment you are replying to. But the overall charge time still gives you a pretty decent idea of how 10-90 will stack up since a vehicle that charges 0-100 faster will also charge 10-90 faster as well.
The point is that 0-100 locks in a set standard that is't arbitrary and easy to change to make things look better than they are, not that it's the best example of real world use. It gives less knowledgeable customers a consistent point of comparison across vehicles and brands.
