How does charging a phone beyond 80% decrease the battery’s lifespan?

Samsung and Apple both released new phones this year that let you enable a setting where it prevents you from charging your phone’s battery beyond 80% to improve its lifespan. How does this work?

Constantly gimping your phone to 80% for years so that in 3 years time it can charge to 85% of its original capacity (which you never do though, youre charging to 80% of 85% still at this point..) vs using 100% of your battery every day for 3 years and it only charging to 70% down the track

Youre gimping your phone for years to have it less shit later (but inevitably still deteriorated some). You might as well have used it at 100% youve already front loaded shittier battery life. Can someone explain this to me…
