Understand. I rarely let my own tablets get below 20% before returning them to the charger.
However, when 100% charged means a device is really only 90% charged instead of 96-98% (end charge for most lithium batteries is typically 2-3% less than 100% and sometimes a little more) it means that the device will reach 20% much sooner than if it were actually charged to 96-98% and may even mean the battery is really at 10% when the meter says 20%. Plus, who wouldn't like to have an additional hour of use that Dr. Soneria claims users would get if the battery meter was more accurate.
