Why does nobody talk about how much fat render you lose on a offset vs a pellet grill

I was talking to this old timer at a comp in Kansas City last Saturday and he showed me his drip pan after a 12 hour brisket cook - the pellet grill had almost double the liquid fat compared to his offset. Made me wonder if we are all just giving up flavor for convenience without really knowing it, has anyone else actually measured the difference?

Ngl my buddy swears his offset makes meat taste better but I can't tell the difference after 6 beers.

@oliver523 legit me too until I saw that fat difference and now I'm rethinking everything.
