Why do we, in general, find it so difficult to just use our devices and charge them as needed? Random question I know...

I don't know. I understand when something is running your battery down and you are getting less than what you should be getting. I don't understand the shutting off everything to get 45 mins extra on a normal day.
I must be missing something here - shutting off 45 minutes?
I don't obsess over my battery - when it gets down around 40% I charge it to 100%. (And I've just gotten a really neat battery bank that I'll be reviewing in a couple of weeks, after I do my best to blow it up, so now I really - what's the exact opposite of obsess? - about my battery, because I have at least 2 full charges hanging from my belt loop.)
Or are you referring to the 95% of people who think using a complex device like a computer or a cellphone should be as simple as using a pencil - if the point doesn't break, it works? That's called "keeping up with the times" and most people have a problem doing it. A cellphone isn't a pencil - you have to use real (as opposed to artificial) intelligence to know when to charge your phone's battery and how far you can push it. And, if you don't want to learn, you have to at least read the instructions (on places like this forum) and follow them. (My father never got used to driving an automatic transmission - to him, driving and shifting were part of the same operation. My mother never got the spatial relationship between the horizontal movement of the mouse and the vertical movement of the mouse cursor. Her parents had problems with just putting a penny into the gas light to get light - no kerosene, no trimming the wick.) The grandchildren of those still in their 20s will wonder why we have a problem with the computer-brain interface they take for granted.
That and I find myself using my Nexus for a bit then two finger swiping down to see the percentage etc. It becomes quite an obsession and I don't always remember this practice through my years of owning cell phones
I know a part of it might just be forums like these and constant comparison to the next guy.
But comparison to the next person can't be a big thing. We all use different apps, even the same apps, different ways and use our phones different ways.
Comparing to the next person can be a place to start, but can't be the major part of it.
Oh yeah, many do that for sure. That is generally when they get frustrated. They will be running a whole lot more and then blame the phone because their battery isn't the same as someone running less and a light user.But I'm sure many think "same phone, same battery life" when it's not quite that simple.
I take my Seidio charging vault with me if I know I won't be near a charger.I plug in as needed and call it a day. I only worry when out and about for very extended periods of time... And then I usually just shut off mobile data and turn the minor power save on and that does the trick.
