I hear you, but if the net use of the battery is (as mentioned in other posts) 28kwh out of the whole 35kwh.
This will result in 80% charge when the display shows 100% capacity.
Right?

28kwh / 35kwh = 80% net use.
You may be correct but mine can't go past 97% so... do I have a lower battery? I don't know...

I know that is time of thumb, but Honda manual recommends to fully charge to protect the battery?

Since I, at least, don't know how the buffer on the battery is distributed top/bottom and I know little about battery theory I'll stick to Honda recommendation.

It generally takes very qualified knowledge and possibly special circumstances to be better of deviating from factory recommendation. Countless stories from car clubs have taught me that πŸ˜‰πŸ€”
I was also puzzled why Honda wrote that in the manual. I still think it is a mistake. I would never charge to 100% unless for a road trip and drive as soon as I charge to 100%

Yes you are right but that can mean 10% from top and 10% from bottom. So you can use only from 10% to 90% to protect the battery. However for me 90% is still high, so at least go to 90% charge or less (80% real SOC). If your regular commute distance is not high and manage to use for example 20% charge every day, keep it always around the middle. Use from 40% to 60%.

I don't know why is doing that. Maybe it slows down alot at the end with 2.3kW charger. If you want to test that out try to DC charge it somewhere but I would not bother much.

Meh.. 3% desn't bother me.. We can't see a simple battery status/health data like a phone/laptop you can't really be sure of anything..
