I think a far more likely reason for any slow down is Lenovo's Windows drivers suck, or Windows defaults to a power saving mode that improves battery life but impacts performance, or Windows has antivirus or some other impactful service running that they didn't turn off. Since the article neglects to say if they tweaked Windows I have to assume they didn't.

This might be true, but at the end of the day I don't care. I just want things to work out of the box.
In my headcanon the debloated custom kernel version of windows that runs as well as linux means that the avarage npc who installs stock win11 and boots up the game gets the same framerate.
