It’s something about how the charging circuitry is constructed. I’ve asked a handful of electrical engineers about it but they’ve never given me a good answer. My guess is that it’s easier/cheaper to design and build a circuit that only powers the phone off the battery, and only uses DC to charge the battery.
Comment on Part 3: They said a phone can’t run without a battery. Unfortunately, Pettyl didn’t get the memo.

Since when does a phone need a battery to run? It needs power, doesn’t matter where the power comes from.

well ACKSHUALLY 🤓☝️
Unfortunately Pettyl is stupid enough to need the battery to boot, but smart enough to forget about it immediately afterwards.
