I too run in the motorcycle community where the pulling the battery deal is pretty common when you have your battery on a charger for 5 months or more. Just a thing I guess. Not necessary but hurts nothing.
I too run in the motorcycle community. Here in Minnesota where the seasons are very..."distinct"...it's common to have multiple vehicles in storage at different times of the year. Between boats, cars, snowmobiles, quads, lawn tractors...other stuff, I have 4 or 5 vehicles on Battery Tenders at any given point in the year. Certainly, nothing wrong with pulling the battery for storage, just a pointless PITA from my standpoint. I plug 'em in and forget it. Never had one malfunction in decades, or at least since float chargers became common on the market.
