That isn't true any more. Comparing the commercial EGO systems to the commercial Husqvarna systems, both produce ~600cfm of air movement in a backpack system.

That isn't true any more. Comparing the commercial EGO systems to the commercial Husqvarna systems, both produce ~600cfm of air movement in a backpack system. The battery life on the EGO systems is sufficient (60 min+ runtime peer battery, in my experience, more than enough for several large yards during mowing season). Yes, a landscape crew would need to carry several spare batteries per electric device, likely with some sort of charging station on the truck. Expensive up front costs, no question. But, probably worth it in the long run for emissions and nuisance gains.
