You are looking at it the wrong way.

Any more capacity is just a waste of precious battery materials and extra bulk to carry around for no reason.

It's not about using more, it's about getting more battery life from less resources and at the same size. Of course, also safely.

...because modern smartphones to a shit ton more than pre-2007. if you want your phone to do more, as most people do, yeah, they are going to use more engery. it's hardly a con pulled on us.

modern smartphones are extremely efficient for what they do, to the point that Apple decided to redo their computer architecture based on their phones. their baseline laptops don't even need fans they are so energy and heat efficient.
