Never heard of a charge cycle counter for anything. Laptops do give current max capacity vs original capacity as well as current charge level.
It's not very useful to know cycles because total cycles depends on age, temperature and manufacturing tolerance/purities. Time and elevated temperature on their own wear out the cell.
I replace the cell or battery if the run time gets too short if the cell is economical to change. One laptop had 4 packs, but was used for 14 years. The 4th pack still just about goes as the laptop hardly used in 6 years. Bought in April 2002 and replaced in November 2016. I've replaced several phone cells, cells in three kindles, one tablet and one Kobo.
