Did you even read the article? It talks in great details about unique hardware features that no other vendor offers (which are really useful for battery-saving).

Linux on the Mac — state of the union

My Lenovo T460 seems to get at least 10–12 hours of use out of a single charge using stock Debian pre-Stretch, probably more with tweaking. I don't really see why I should pay extra for some “unique hardware features” and apparently a lot of drama just getting Linux installed. Given that the T460 has two batteries, one of which can easily be swapped out while the computer is running, it's probably simpler and cheaper (both in terms of real money and time saved) to buy another battery.
