I'd argue that they don't really take advantage of efficiency though. Instead of longer SOT, they opt for smaller batteries with similar SOT to the older models in order to make the devices thinner.

Your argument is provably wrong. Compare the battery life of any modern M series mac to it's windows equivalent and you'd find that the Mac is significantly better. The MacBook pro 16 even fits the maximum allowable battery size at 99wh.
