Battery Debate Issue after Oreo Update

Yes sorry, it's PIE, not Oreo (I get confused with these stupid desert names of OS systems).
Ok good, it does seem draining the battery to 40% or lower can lessen the life span of it, so I'm still confused why so many sites and forums still suggest that, but it could be that it's just misinformation and it then in turn gets spread around.
I'll just leave that alone and not bother with draining the batter then and just deal with the issue in hopes that somehow it gets fixed in a newer update.
The last thing I want is to do a factory reset. I've customized so many things that took a long time (most of which I've already forgotten) and wouldn't want to have to start from scratch as I did last year when I upgraded from a Blackberry 9360 to the S9 (you can tell how overwhelming that was). In fact I'm still not sure about 80% of this phone so don't want to add more issues with the reset. My friend actually did that and she said it caused her more pain than the drain was and ended up not noticing any difference. So there's that risk too...
