First you should not be depleting modern batteries, its not good for the battery health, or indeed storage health, recall that solid-state storage integrity is not guaranteed in the absence of electrical current (a reminder to those who have a habit of backing up stuff onto SSDs, unplugging them and forgetting about them for extended time periods).
Second, if you think about it, its a safety feature in to protect you from data corruption.
If they let you turn on a machine with a fully-depleted battery and you immediately yank out the power cord, then you risk data corruption.
Sure, modern solid-state storage (at least the high quality implementations) have power-loss-protection. But that relies on capacitors. And to charge up capacitors, you need what ... oh yeah, that's right, electricity .... ;-)
So that is most likely why Apple require you to have a minimal charge before allowing you to power-on from completely depleted.
And to be honest, what are you bitching about anyway. Most Apple devices I use only require a 5–10 minute charge from completely depleted to get you to the minimum required. So just go make a cup of coffee and remind yourself not to completely deplete batteries in the future.

Prior Planning Prevents Poor Performance Starting a zoom or presentation on low battery is just a fucking stupid thing to do. There's no other way to put it.

No its to make sure that you can not use a perfectly functional compouter without replacing a battery once it has fully died. > I use only require a 5–10 minute charge Are you saying apple devices are not good for watching live content? > You risk data corruption With autosave (which most app have) data loss would be minimal. Before I could afford apple products, from afar everything apple looked amazing but after using them I found out, Apple UI is just pretty and only slightly more polished than Windows.
