The new i9-12900HK processors are supposed to be more powerful than M1 Max. I am personally waiting till these show up in laptops.
No one doubted that Intel could make a CPU as powerful. But everyone knows that it isn't gonna be cool and quiet.
Cellphones have moved away from replaceable batteries specifically because of fast charge. Most phones with 20 watt charging will reach ~50% battery in 30 mins, so even with battery degradation, you really don't notice the effect in day to day life.
Same thing with laptops, there really are very few situations where you don't have access to a charging port for ~6-8 hours.
Given that, Id personally rather take the hit on efficiency in return for way better compatibility, ability to run a full linux natively , and not deal with all the extra crap that Apple throws in the M1. And, If I really care about longevity, a second battery is easily an option for laptops like Frameworks.
