You're forgetting what the batteries are powering, AA batteries are used for powering small devices, and you often need more than one. A single one of these batteries can be used to create many stasis fields with the stasis rifle, defy gravity and propel objects with the propulsion/repulsion canon, weld metal with the repair tool, cut metal with the laser cutter, scan objects and learn nearly everything about them with the scanner, and travers several kilometers while hauling a 150-200 lb human being with the seaglide. Also AA batteries would run out faster in subnautica because time is moving faster than irl.
