> when your laptop gets 10+ hours of battery life
I have a 2014 13" MacBook Air which had the same claims, and yes I could get 12 hours if I didn't do anything on it.
My battery is now about 80% of its original health, and if I'm lucky will last 4-5 hours while coding (terminal + browser + music). I expect it would be a lot shorter if I'm doing photo / video / music editing. Watching videos it can just about last 3 hours.
Ok it's better than 1-2 hours when MagSafe was introduced, but it's still a long way from all-day battery life when you only need to charge overnight.
