I was never under the impression that, when wearing the mask because I was the only one of the Flight Deck, I had to use 100%. Obviously, if a depressurisation occurs, the oxygen percentage will be increased as cabin altitude increases because the masks are diluter-demand.

I was under the impression that the rule exists because of the increased difficulty of performing an emergency descent single-pilot whilst getting your mask on.
