Well, I'm not obsessive about it; if I can't get to a charger, I just let it drain. Really, the most practical bounds are 20-80%. It's really easy to make the phone ping a reminder at either end each time to remind you to connect or disconnect, via Automation, MacroDroid, Tasker, etc. Samsungs and Asus laptops also come with a Protect Battery/80% charging limiter already.
If you don't care about the environment and just wanna keep buying and discarding batteries every few years, then that's on you, but I value usage reduction and wanna try to make mine last 5+ years if possible. With that said, I don't think I've seen this video before, so I'll check it out, thanks.
The point is that all these measures you take don't really meaningfully impact the battery life. Ultimately the only thing that matters is how much you use it. Ironically, cutting down on background apps probably helps your battery life more, rather than using those apps to artificially limit it.
I use them for many other purposes, too, not just battery! Also, I did watch both entire HTX videos and they consistently did objectively show at least a few % battery saved every 6 mo when limiting the range on both ends.
