Having used all three, including the Makita 36v, I have to call absolute BS.
The saws are all very similar in size and within a pound of each other. While all perform similar when running, the Milwaukee makes less cuts per amp of battery and if using steady, timed out from overheating. While the 36v Makita is a good saw, it requires two batteries and without timing out from overheating like the Milwaukee, has about the same power; albeit the odd 'soft start.' The DeWalt is simply faster than both and just as fast as my corded Makita when using the 8amp 20v, or the 9amp Flexvolt.
When it comes to dust clearance, I would have to agree that the DeWalt is a bit behind both the Makita and Milwaukee and the DeWalt handle is a bit small if you have large hands and working with heavier winter gloves.
Nevertheless, the OP DeWalt being a "toy" is nonsense. While it typically boils down to what battery platform you are already invested in, this DeWalt is more powerful and cheaper.
Saw bloody rocks.
Had a crap ton of clean up and shed fixing to do after a storm.

I don't believe I have ever seen a plastic guard on a circular saw. No, it seems to be cast aluminum, but maybe magnesium. The base is aluminum and although not quite as smooth as magnesium polished to same level, it is hard for me to tell the difference.

Meanwhile, most tools could use some improvement, but no reason to fix what is not broke. What they could do with this saw is to improve the air flow to clear sawdust from in front of the blade. Kind of early, I am still contemplating buying the rear handle worm drive, but this kit is cheap.
I believe you are correct.... I missed that it also included the DCD998 that is a quite powerful hammer drill.

Do these batteries (Dewalt) survive a while if not used? As in like 10 years?
