That sort of battery life is fine for me. I don't need to do much heavy work on the road, I just want something that will last a day of fairly frequent web-over-wifi use at a reasonable brightness. I don't do much gaming while travelling, and if I think I will be, I just take my Switch.
I also pick my laptops based on being able to charge by USB-C, and I travel with a big PD-capable power bank. So I'm never really stuck for power.
