I always thought the full discharge / charge cycle advice was a hangover from older battery technology i.e. Ni-Cd batteries, rather than the Li-ion used today.

Same reason I thought as to why phones originally came uncharged with the advice to charge for 12 - 16 hours before first use, whereas now you normally have a reasonable charge out of the box.
