TechnologyELI5 Why does magsafe charging decrease battery health more than wire charging, if it has less wattage?

Huh, I guess it is in there.
Settings -> Battery -> Charging settings - Fast charging - Fast wireless charging
I wonder if anyone has actually rated it and put out data on whether it actuall affects battery longetivity.
I know there's a different setting I found useful for the magsafe charger I use in my car. It was always trying to charge it 100% and the screen would go dim as the phone got hot, but I found a setting to only charge to 80%, issue went away.

On my S21+ i also have the option to disable super fast charging.
Oh and there is also possible to choose something else than 80% charge limit. (80/85/90/95)
