I have to agree with this. The battery state does not cease being
important when the battery is full. I personally care about looking
after my battery and continually charge and discharge it even when it is
on my desk; when it is full I will unplug it.

Most laptop users care about their battery state (unless there is no
battery present) and it should therefore be there unless it is told not
to be.
