If you don't care about "workstation" branding, or out-of-the-box Linux compatibility, you can get a high-RAM laptop by looking at gaming laptops.

This is also true. Gaming laptops tend to have a nice blend of performance features that lend them well to overall performance in may cases, but likely not focusing on super long battery life.
It'd be great if there was a marketing push for gaming laptop-like performance without all the gaming embellishments like RGB lighting, "stealth" appearance, etc. I'd love an elegantly designed, high-capacity battery version.
The Asus ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition gets the best of these features, with the one exception of lacking a mux switch to turn off the integrated graphics when using the dedicated graphics for even more performance on the built-in screen. There are several YouTube videos that cover this, amongst the best are Jarrod's Tech.

One good thing about USBC charging is that power banks now exist which can charge laptops.

Never had thought about that. Thanks!
