I not only believe, I also know it from my personal experience of working 4+ years remotely and travelling a lot at the same time. You can plug-in in many places, but still there are many scenarios when it's a problem:
crowded cafeteria with only 2 electrical plug-ins, you can crawl under tables and try to find them, ask people to allow you seat next to them etc. Or you can just don't mind it because your laptop will still have 40% of battery which allows you for 3-5 hours of working
apartment from airbnb with electrical plugs in completely random places (this is super common scenario, especially in Spain) - want to work on a desk or table? Forget. The closes plug-in is in a hallway.
countries with different plugs - when travelling to GB or Switzerland I don't always have adapter - sometimes you can find standard plugs but some of them just don't match
.. few others.
Great response. Thank you. I appreciate a lot your input.
What would be the recommended battery life? 10h?
I will probably look for a Windows laptop, but now, at least, I'm going to make sure the device I'll buy will compete with macbook on this level
Yes, 10 hours it's ok. It usually allows you to have full work day in a total sh**hole. If it charges quickly it's also great. Macbooks charges quickly - thats another bonus point for them.
If you find a good laptop for Windows (I'm in this minority that loves Windows > Linux, macOS) that comes with great battery, share it, please.

I haven't paid much attention to the battery, but why do you believe it is so important? Nowadays you can plug in a laptop almost everywhere
