Mostly I agree with you; however, when I got my late '07 MacBook (model 3,1), its battery life was within 15 minutes of its stated ability. After the number of cycles I have put on it has decreased, but it never was only 2/3's of what Apple thought I could expect. In Leopard, that is. In Linux I usually get a similar amount of time, sometimes more ... sometimes less. Windows, although it has some significant advantages, just cannot seem to get the same life from my battery. Generally I agree with you that companies inflate claims of battery life, but in some cases they are relatively accurate.
