Good GPU, but 2-gen old CPU. 8GB ram, small storage, tongfang chassis.
Small and light though, if that's what you're after.
Intel i7 9th Gen
8GB RAM, 128GB NVMe SSD
It does have less ram and storage but if you want a bang for the buck deal this is it.

For instance, would a general statement that the Lenovo Legion 5 with Ryzen processor and RTX is always the best bet (if price is ignored) because it has a good cooling and allows for optimized performance?

They deal with overheating by reducing power, and increasing size (a little) vs a non gaming laptop. Cooling systems can also be very sophisticated. Most gaming laptops are designed for <85W GPUs and 45W CPUs. Desktop systems are usually >2x more power. Some laptops can deal with up to 2x this power also, but they are bigger and expensive.
The market has spoken apparently, and even gaming laptops need to be as small, thin, and light as possible. If you look at a typical RTX 2070 desktop card, it's huge with big fans and has a nominal TDP of 175W. Obviously something has to give if you are going to squeeze that into a wee laptop. So they limit power and speed so it will function in the tiny envelope of the laptop.
Size and power and temperatures will always be at odds.
Lenovos are nothing special in this regard.
EDIT: Also, the 15.6 models do not necessarily have less cooling than 17.3" of the same model. If the fans and heatpipes are the same then there should be little or no difference. Usually the extra space is used for storage or battery capacity.
