I would imagine they've considered batter degradation here. It could be that the approach they use doesn't cause significant damage to the battery.

    They actually tell you it’s better to charge it with the slow charger most of the time. The fast charger does have a negative effect on battery life. I don’t know how significant it is though.

    It'd be interesting to see what the difference is there. The ideal would be if you have a charger capable of rapid charging, and you can dial it down if you want to assuming there is a negative effect on the battery.
