I believe Macs readily hibernate, moreso than Windows or Linux laptops do (if at all). macOS has a few tricks to make it seem more responsive coming out of hibernation (such as showing a fake image of the desktop before it becomes responsive) which lets it get away with this. (I can't find anything to back this up right now, but I remember reading this somewhere, and my experience with at least some versions of macOS match this.) On the other hand, my Linux laptop (Dell XPS 15) lasts much longer while awake and runs far cooler than any other device I own. There simply is less crud running in the background keeping it active. (Disabling off-chip graphics, disabling full-disk indexing, and applying all suggestions from Intel PowerTOP play a big part here. vs. on my Mac, I'm forced to force-enable off-chip graphics, else input lag is horrendous.)
