The state of modern technology is so unhinged that not only has it been a basic feature of the core operating system for almost a decade, enabling it on any device that doesn't intentionally break the feature is literally just creating a specific text file with the desired charge limit as an integer.

Why would you want to own the stuff you buy? Imagine the overwhelming burden of ownership crushing you and you won't feel that way anymore.
You're right, how short-sighted of me. Thank you corporate overlords for saving me the burden of managing your text files for you.
