I saw list item 1 more as “I want my phone to last for 5+ years, so I will want to replace my battery eventually”, rather than “I wanna wreck my battery fast, so it better be replaceable”. Being wasteful with your battery like that goes against the spirit of Fairphone, IMO.
It’s all about the heat. It’s not dumping 120w non stop even over 90% for example. OnePlus also use supervooc not standard usb pd. My phone legit does 150w max and while I mostly use my 80w charger because my tablet uses that I can’t say my battery seems affected much 2,5 years in.
2.5 years isn’t that long to evaluate battery degradation IMO, and as you said, you mostly don’t even push your battery that hard. And the article even seems to imply that faster charging does impact battery life, it’s just that manufacturers consider 100w a sweet-spot between charging speed and battery degradation.
I’ve been through two smart phones, and both of them were down to eventual battery issues and randomly powering off at (allegedly) 30% remaining battery when you fire up the camera or something.

Ultra fast charging is so good though. I’ve got a oneplus 12 and it charges from 0-100 in like 30 minutes.

Surely, that impacts the battery longevity, right? Personally, I disable all fast-charging features and charge my phone overnight.
P.S. Sorry for calling you Shirley.

To some extent, yes. But it’s not a feature you have to use. You can still limit the charge to 80% and use a slow charger if you really want to.
It’s a neat feature if you need to boost your battery quickly in a short amount of time, like if you need to go somewhere urgently and unexpectedly.

Hence item number 1 on his list.
