For your anecdote, here is mine: I used to charge my Apple Watch every night and every day because workouts were trashing the battery.

There is no good argument against a longer lasting battery. Even if it lasts 48 hours instead of a competitors week-month, an improvement would be welcome.

The argument against a longer battery is a thinner watch.

For the 10, thinness won out.

Yes, but it’s not a good one. I don’t remember getting polled to see which I’d prefer, but I’d hazard a guess that more people would prefer the battery life if given the option.

If you want better battery life at the expense of size, buy the Ultra.

at the expense of size

Yes, that is exactly what Apple has done with a variety of product lines for decades. If you're are a power user and the entry device doesn't meet your needs, you're expected to pay for the Pro/Ultra model. Why do you expect the Watch to be different from the MacBook, iPhone, iPad, etc?
