Estimating the state of charge on a lithium battery is extremely complicated and difficult. And they stopped showing the numbers earlier because they didn't want you to see how inaccurate they were.
Nowadays, the models are better and more sophisticated, but the tradition continues.
Well I only really need to know if I'm near dead or fully charged
On because of accuracy and its the default
I don't care what the # is. Even floating on tubes down the Saco River, it's irrelevant. Full at start and can go back on charge when we finish.

I don't even want the graphic, I just want the number. the graphic introduces overlays that are confusing at a glance

No number. Clean aesthetics 🤩
The icon is kinda ugly with the numbers. But I’d rather the info over not.
I use the number. I can see an argument for decreasing battery anxiety by not having an exact number displayed. It's either low, medium, or high basically using the graphic alone. I can also see how this could make the anxiety worse too though. Without seeing the number you might always think it's low. If you're worried about it anyway, this is probably more likely.
