I don't get why the author blames bad drivers on the standby mode.
I remember similar issues with S3 back then. You had to jump through many hoops on FreeBSD and Linux to make it work without draining your battery while still being able to resume from standby successfully. Disabling some drivers, but not others, etc.
Thus, a faulty implementation of a device or driver is not to blame on the standby mode. FWIW, Modern Standby works fine on my Thinkpad X1 Titanium Yoga with Windows 11. The only device that drains more battery than necessary if not disabled is the Qualcomm WWAN modem. That stops once you disable it, like in the "good old days". So for me, it's nothing negative, but actually adds convenience because with Modern Standby, my device goes to sleep and resumes much faster than the devices ever did with S3.
