I do it for the purpose of preserving the battery for myself down the line. I'll go for a full charge if I expect to need it, but 80% is usually more than enough so why put unnecessary wear on the battery?
isn't that intentionally creating a lot of mental anguish every day (trying to make 80% last the full day) in exchange for just one day of simplicity at some theoretical point in the future?
Feels a bit like worrying about tomorrow stealing joy from today

Not at all, I only use around 40% per day.

More like avoiding months of that mental anguish in the future because my phone can still easily handle the 40% I use instead of having degraded down to where that is the limit.
Homo sapiens is a genus full of anxiety, as our ancestors who didn't "worry about tomorrow" either died from hunger, or got killed by those who did. Anxiety is an evolutionary feature.
