interesting - maybe the higher pixel density? Or brightness? How to confirm for a given model?

That, and OLED vs LCD, I believe. It's right there in the CIPA battery life ratings. For example, if you click on the Z9 review in the sidebar, it says "The z9 is rated as delivering 740 shots per charge if you use the rear LCD and 700 if you use the viewfinder. These figures jump to 770 and 740, respectively, if you use energy saving mode."

pretty subtle difference, at least for that model.

The R5 VF does offer a faster refresh mode, which thinking now, would clearly mean more power draw.
