Fact is, people say terrific battery. And I was looking forward to terrific battery. But I get the same as what my Lenovo would give me.
The discussion about the MacBook Air and you are comparing to a MacBook Pro 14". I have both laptops and the battery life of the Air under heavier use is definitely better than a Pro. This is not surprising, the M1 Pro/Max have double the number of performance cores, the efficiency cores run at a higher clock, plus the Pro has active cooling and a brighter display. At the same time, the battery of the 14" is larger, but not twice as large (49.9 vs. 70 Wh).
I think for regular users, getting two day battery life on an Air is pretty normal. For instance my wife regularly used her Air for two work days before charging.

Docker on mac is a serious battery drain. You might get longer battery life by running docker remotely on other linux machine (e.g. using vscode remote development).

Maybe I was just already spoilt and lucky and expect8nh too much. 6 to 8 is still much better than 5 years ago.
