No. I disagree with this. It's a consumer device being sold in masses. The average user has zero idea of calibration. It needs to work out of the box or be calibrated pre shipment.
Ok, you calibrate it pre-shipment. Then if you don't calibrate it a month later, you're back to square one.
The user has to do this themselves. There is no way for the battery report to work correctly if you do not calibrate your battery.
Seriously, it's not hard to run the device down once per month. You don't need to know why or how it works, you just have to run it down.
Let me also mention that this calibration is relevant to every single lithium ion device that you buy, not just a Surface Pro 3. Your phone, other laptops, headsets and whatever - it all works the same way.
