The energy consumption when charging isn't the issue; it's all that extra mass of additional battery needed to hold the charge.

I don't mind a heavier phone at all. Especially if that means an improved device life until mandatory charge

That’s what battery cases are for. There’s no need to weigh down a standard model with battery capacity that’s far beyond what the majority of users need. That’s more of a concern with niche phones that won’t get specifically designed battery cases, but for iPhones there are plethora of options.

The majority of users need all battery capacity they can carry.

That’s their decision, not yours.
