I suspect the short answer is "no", and the long answer is "if battery life is good enough who will care?"
My amd laptop from 3 years ago varies from 5-10 hours depending on workload. Compared to my mac its usually half the battery life.
But how many people need more than 5? They exist. But at that point the factors of price, performance, and compatibility are very relevant.
Reminds me of the state of phones now. Early smartphones had pathetic battery life. Now it's reached the point I don't care because the battery life of all the phones exceeds the daily use. Other factors now dominate.
