Yes they did! See right above or direct link https://sh.itjust.works/comment/19270078

fixed it by blocking the element

Thanks for your reply ! My last unit lasted 9 years so that counts but looking at feedback from recent models it looks like a lot of progress has been made already so I’m not sure if it’s worth it to worry that much

I could totally be misunderstanding the problem or question here,

You understood the question right, simply put MacOS is meant to optimize battery life and use but there’s some alternatives (like those mentioned) that aim to do better.

Think about “Photos” and “Mail”: there’s an option built in but some alternatives exists and they are better for that matter in my opinion.
