. Why can some devices be used with a 0% dead battery as long as they’re plugged in, while others have to be charged a bit first?

Well, for why some have to be charged a bit, it has to do with the boot up process.
For things that won’t turn back on right away after you plug them in, that is a fail safe built into the device by the manufacturer. Because for things like an iPhone, if the phone were to die/run out of battery again in the middle of it booting up/turning back on, there’s a chances that it could seriously screw up the phones computer.
So to just prevent that from happening and dealing with angry customers, they force the phone to reach a certain amount of charge so it doesn’t die while booting up.
Other devices don’t have that same problem, so they can turn on right away
