Overall energy spending at this level is not big so the performance is much more important. Only matters for those that are on the road.
For example the M1 Max is destroyed in Redshift render benchmark. 11.5min vs 4.5 min. What you prefer to do 2 iterations(changing lights, materials etc) or 4?

hmmm...no mention of whether these tests were conducted using rosetta emulation or whether plugged into power or not to show true real life performance. I am assuming the answer is yes to rosetta and yes to plugged into the wall.

Had I wanted to play video games like a 16 year old, I would have bought a flashy bling bling Razer - or Alienware laptop. With marquee and gold grills 'n stuff.
This is - always has been - always will be - a machine for productivity work on-the-go, for users that don't mind the price tag, because this is their tool they make money with. Like a hammer for a carpenter.

Would like to know how much slower the M1 Max is on the 14" vs 16" MacBook.

A shame that Steam games do not run on Apple Mac OS.

Shadow of the Tomb Raider is executed through Rosetta 2. It is not optimized for Apple silicon.
