My MacBook doesn't show the Battery Health option - Thunderbolt 3 ports required?

My MacBook doesn't show the Battery Health option. There is a passing reference to "on a Mac notebook with Thunderbolt 3 ports". Should that be interpreted as "This option is only available on Macs with Thunderbolt 3 ports?"

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 10.15

There are some limits here:


this feature is limited to Mac laptops with Thunderbolt 3 ports. That equates to all MacBook Pro models released since late 2016 and the Retina-capable MacBook Air models released since 2018.
