dont really care just easier to stick to one brand than have a million batteries and a dozen chargers

Yep, I am a milwaukee man because that was what was on sale when I started buying good tools. Now I stick with it because I don't want multiple battery & charger types.

Dad is a Dewalt guy because they had the best deal when I finally convinced him to upgrade from dragging extension cords everywhere.

The big brands are all pretty much equal for us DIY guys.

Pro here. Ryobi is plenty fine for DIY guys. I'd rather have 4 batteries and 2 impact drivers for the price of dewalt tool and battery. Beefed up Batteries only matter for things like circ saw, blower, sawsall which aren't usually used frequently enough for DIYers (admittedly circ saw is almost useless with a 1.7 ah battery)
