Not on missing my MacBook Pro running Big Sur.

You may have a Mac that doesn't have Thunderbolt 3 ports. See:
Battery health management is on by default when you buy a new Mac notebook with macOS 10.15.5 or later, or after you upgrade to macOS 10.15.5 or later on a Mac notebook with Thunderbolt 3 ports.
or you may have a new Mac with the M1 chip instead of Intel:

Correct, no Thunderbolt ports. Thank you for highlighting that phrase.
Just seems kinda silly to assume only batteries that drive a particular type of I/O port could ever get “unhealthy “.
