They are rightfully advertising it as '5 hours for each ear'. Which, in my case, is actually 10 hours. I only listen to podcasts - and listen to them in one ear. So when one dies, I'll switch to the other while charging the first one. It's really ideal for my use.

Good for you, for my music not so good. 5hrs is the appropriate battery life.

You are assuming they can work independent. I would not make that assumption.

They mentioned in the keynote that you can use just one earpod (eg for a call) and it will route full stereo audio through only that earpod automatically.

You mean mono, right? Or did they really say "full" stereo (whatever non-full stereo is) through one earbud?

I think he means both the left and the right channels will go to that earpod.
