I can't dispute that, but the AOD was the main reason I got the 15 Pro. If it didn't have the AOD I probably would have just stayed with the 13 mini. I think the message is, you can't have your cake and eat it too (unless maybe you get a Max).If you turn off AOD, then you will get quite significantly more battery life than the 13 mini, if you use your 15 Pro the same way you used your Mini if this makes sense. The 15 Pro has turned out to have the best battery life on any phone i ever owned, including my 8 Plus.
