It's a question of how much processing vs. how much battery. Apple packs a interesting amount of compute into the little suckers. As for the complaints about longevity, it all depends on usage patterns. I've got a several year old pair of airpods which still hold a charge well. I tend to use one at a time (mostly) and about two hours a day ... keeping them far away from 0%. People who use both at the same time, running both down to depletion ... will see substantially shorter lifespans.
My son's cochlear implant has batteries almost as large as my airpods themselves, and are good for about a day's worth of use. They can also use disposable batteries ... which happen to be the same as his hearing aide (his loss in one ear is substantially less than the other). one battery lasts about a month in the hearing aide ... and two last about 1 day in the implant processor. Much of that delta is due to the extra computational load, the rest is due to the energy required to communicate with the implant.
