I get that the battery is probably like 10 times bigger, but we all hear the
“Don’t use your phone while it’s charging that’ll ruin it!”
But I’ve never once in my life heard the
“Your laptop’s battery will be ruined if you use it while its charging!”
Please keep in mind I don’t know much about technology so bear with me

The primary argument against using a phone while charging is extra heat which can be bad for the battery and other phone components.
Laptops in general have much better means of dispersing heat than phones do, like fans that kick on when heat is excessive.
I personally wouldn’t play games on a phone while charging, but do talk or text on a charging phone, I wouldn’t however if the phone was becoming noticeably warmer.
It used to be the case. Battery memory was a big thing back in days of yore. Even in laptops. The materials are the parts that wear a little funny when you charge and discharge at the same time. Modern electronics, even phones, have more durable deep cycle batteries, and can withstand that behavior. That, coupled with smarter chargers that direct a portion of power to the device itself, on top of charging the battery, so this is prevented a second way.
Not using your phone while charging is old outdated advice. We were using different batteries back then and even so it really wasn’t that big of a deal. Use your phone any way you want.
