Some batteries that sit in unused electronics for an extended amount of time don’t hold charges anymore.
So is it better to periodically charge electronics that aren’t used regularly just to keep the battery from losing its useable life? Or is it reasonably just a matter of time before batteries aren’t reasonably usable?

The universe likes balance.
The trouble with balance is if things are balanced, there’s no energy to move stuff around, because everything is pretty much happy where it is.
Batteries are little boxes of extreme imbalance. They are contraptions using chemical trickery to make electrons move.
For each little chemical reaction that sends an electron shooting through your electronic device, the battery loses a little. It becomes more balanced. Eventually the chemical trickery just has no more electrons to give, and the battery dies in a landfill as a little box of useless, but stable metal.
