Pixel reducing battery capacity after 200 charge cycles

What are your thoughts on Google announcing they will be reducing Pixel batteries after 200 charge cycles? Starting with 9a forward the option will be forced, though older Pixel devices can disable the feature.

After experiencing the 4a "update of death" that reduced a well maintained and working battery to garbage it's making me second guess a new Pixel purchase. 200 charge cycles is not a long time, I feel like any praise for 9a battery are misleading as within less than a year those numbers will be reduced at a higher rate than typical battery degradation.
