I'm not sure if it's ever been said but just to be sure:

This graph is why using a battery between 20% and 80% causes much less wear.

Especially below 10% and above 90% the voltage changes rapidly, until the safety kicks in to avoid total breakage. The less voltage difference, the less wear on the battery.

for the nerds: yes I'm using a specific li-ion graph as example but you'll find similar curves with most types of batteries, and less voltage change is almost always less wear.

A graph with the "Typical Li-ion Discharge Voltage Curve".

It shows the brunt of the power exists between 3.55v and 3.75v, it's the last 10-20% where it goes as high as 4.25v and as low as 2.5v.
