If you're looking for every last bit of juice out of a battery, inductive charging might not be the best way to get it. I'm sure Apple wants to strike a balance of convenience and enough power for most people without making it any bulkier than necessary.
Product-wise there was a rumor that Apple will be switching to more compact GaN chargers this year, so I wonder if that will come with the Macbook Pro redesign?
It would be cool if they also applied this to the Macbook Air chargers. The tiny charger on the M1 Air makes it a pleasure to travel with, and an even smaller one would be incredible.
I keep one of these in my messenger bag for use with my iPad, if I'm not mistaken it matches the Air charger wattage too: https://us.anker.com/products/a2614

Anker and others have had these for a while, but one imagines the supply chain is trickier when you need to produce tens of millions of them.
