Why does Linux have such a terrible sleep? (programming.dev)

In 8 hours it uses 20% of the battery. When Windows or Mac are put to sleep, the damn things can sleep for a week! This is the case with Linux on multiple laptops.

Is there some kind of manipulation going by ring -1 that detects Linux is running? Is Linux not respecting some procedure and kissing a step?

Really, hibernate as well? On my linux desktop and laptops, hibernate completely cuts the power. It's definitely possible that this works differently for a handheld device, though, and I don't think I even tried using hibernate on an ARM device.
