Even if you remove all that crap, battery life is nowhere near the same vs the M-series chips. So while it may be a problem, it’s still not anywhere close to the reason battery life sucks.
I thought so too, but if Apple is getting more than 2x the battery life vs competitors while having a more dense screen, then I suppose it’s not as significant as I had thought.

Isn’t the screen eating most of the power in laptops? I just have an old T490 that I don’t use very much so I might be not that well informed.

Denser screen shouldn’t use more power though? Lighter, brighter, larger yes, denser IMO not so much.
Denser takes a more powerful gpu and higher data rates to drive more pixels.
Oh yeah, the gpu would have to work more.
