> Five hours is more than good enough

Was only a few years ago where any decently performant machine didn't get more than 3 or 4 hours anyway. Everyone has a different use case.

Five hours new does not stay five hours for long. Really what people want is to have ~3 hours 2+ years from now.

Poor shmucks in big corporations. I've had a few 8h meetings in the past year. We did have a power source though.

For me, it's 5-hour flights on planes that sometimes don't have working power plugs.

In my experience, it is usually 5 1-hour meetings.
