I despise Macs but I think you are right. ALL modern windows laptops are broken inherently due to Microsoft's forcing of Modern standby on manufacturers, this means that pretty much every manufacturer has removed S3 sleep from their laptops, this means that laptops cannot and will not deep sleep. You can't quickly shut the lid on any of the new Dell or Lenovo laptop, the fans stay on cooking itself if you put it into a bag (not covered under warranty btw) or just draining the battery. Microsoft Modern / Connected standby is so broken that many people are returning their laptops (just hit Reddit to see how widespread this is) I have just moved my company away from Dell as a primary provider because our $8K XPS 9710's are basically useless as laptops. We even tried to set "Hibernate on Lid close" and "Auto Power on Lid Open" - Hibernate fails about 1/3rd of the time basically causing a hard reset and loss of anything that was open. Our company is now a Mac only company and unfortunately for Dell its not likely going to change in the future.
