Wait, why are iMacs and Minis affected more? (I read the twitter thread; I'm not seeing why.)

Laptops have batteries, so an AC power failure doesn't mean they immediately crash: they just keep running on battery until the battery gets low, at which point the system cleanly hibernates.

They're dependent on external power, which can acutely fail.
