Apple actually pioneered the connected standby (though they called it powernap as they have a snazzy marketing name for everything)
I hated it when I had a macbook (from work) because it did sometimes heat up in my backpack. So I always turned it off with pmset.
I have to say though that this was firmly in the intel age, my last personal Macs were a 2010 MacBook and 2011 Mac Mini. I guess this feature works better now that they're on ARM and they can just keep one or two light cores active. But ARM macs are also more locked down so they're not an option for me. Also I really hate their hardware (too little travel on the keys, sharp edges etc). Even when they returned to the old scissor keys the key travel was too short for me.
I'm really happy with KDE these days, it gives me back choice and options on how I want my system to work. The only thing I miss from Apple is pixelmator.
