That's how all rechargeable batteries work isn't it? If I understand correctly, there's no such thing as 100% because it would break it.
Is the change here that they're letting the user set the limit?
Yes, but this allows user to define lower limit, which further prolongs the battery life.
I want to be able to control whether it charges up to 75, 90 or 100 of the available capacity.
not quite, there is a 100% and there is a true 0%, but going above 4.2V or below 3.7V damages the battery's capacity incredibly fast, so it's better to avoid those by setting 100% to 4.2 and 0% to 3.7 (also because that's the interval where most of the energy is stored) (Talking about Li-ion here)
