The battery life is insane. The idea of charging my laptop has become this weird ritual now, only known of in lore and legend, that I partake of only when there is a blood moon.

I think the problem is that Safari allows tabs to ask to be periodically woken while the laptop is asleep, and there is no obvious way to turn this off. And it will keep doing this until the battery is so low that the laptop needs to hibernate.
TL;DR: Make sure Power Nap is turned ON. It allows macOS to consolidate wakeup requests into a bulk queue. So the thing isn't turning on all the time.
You're describing a case with a battery pack.
It forces them to the forefront of miniaturisation and efficiency. It's also something they're unusually good at, which creates differentiation.
