You're wrong with the part about custom ROMS.Google actually optimized their software pretty well... because they wrote the operating system. You actually get a better battery life on stock firmware. You get a worse battery life on something like GrapheneOS or LineageOS.
Interesting. I have been pretty content with the battery life on my Pixel 7 running GrapheneOS so far
This actually isn't only true for Google. On most devices you get better battery life on Stock software.
You can search for "GrapheneOS battery life" and see lots of people say it's worse than on stock, but also some that say it's better. It might depend on if you're using Sandboxed Google play or not.
I do not have sandboxed Google Play. It is bare bones GrapheneOS. I wonder how much of a difference that makes.
