Apart from metrics like energy density and cycle life, shouldn't we also consider idle self-discharge rate or charged-state longevity when evaluating batteries? No one seems to be talking about that in this case.

Yes, and you can consider steps taken by India to have had equal amount of impact if not more in the betterment of oppressed. It may not have been a Big Bang improvement like with American civil war but instead slowly over a few decades it has worked quite well

Even before apple introduced the 3D Touch for trackpad feature, there was a Jailbreak tweak called SlideSelection. IMHO it was an even better solution. All you had to do was drag your finger left from the backspace key and the caret would start gliding. This was faster than having to force touch or touch-wait on spacebar. Also for selection you could double tap backspace and slide your finger.
