Everyone says that the phone's battery should not be charged more than
80%, to maximize battery life.

 I don't like charging only to 80%.  Then when I've used it a while, it's
only 60% or 40%.  I don't like discharging below 30 or 40%.  Isn't that
bad for it too?
 Even if not, the closer I get to 10% the more I worry I won't have
enough battery for the whole day.  Starting at 100 instead of 80 greatly
lowers the risk of discharging below 20.
 So isn't that reason enough that I can just charge to 100 every night
and not worry about my battery wearing out?
 Also, it's a pain to have to pay attention to how much it has charged.
If I forget to disconnect it, it goes to 100.  So shouldn't I just stop
thinking about it?

Yup, don't worry about it. It'll only really make a difference if you are a very heavy user or keep your phones for 5+ years.
Typical usage - i.e. nightly charging - works fine for easily 3-4 years.
