That's cool, but I don't know if your experience is uniquely yours or common, and for me at least, it's not common. I want a laptop that will last a full day without charging because when I use it as a laptop, I may be moving around, or going between meetings, or walking to lunch or a coffee shop, and I don't want to have to find a power outlet. Narcissism aside, I think more people lean towards the use case of "more battery is better".

With everything else equal, I'm offered a longer battery life with no tradeoff, I'll take it!

However, if I have to use arm binaries instead of amd64 binaries, I'm far less interested.

If I also have to use a laptop where I have little room to adjust the OS defaults, to the point of being in a walled garden, I start asking myself if I need it, and when.

I agree, but TBH with anything over 5h, I rarely need to look for one. Maybe it happens once every month?
