stupid question

[Ratsaremyfreinds]

but what is the purpose of a back lit keyboard? i tried it but the light from the lcd lights up my keyboard fine. and does the keyboard back lights use a lot of battey life?

Not that much battery, there is an energy saver setting on the system preference panel that can adjust the time lit, or not at all
I need that backlit feature so i can type better somehow, as does other notebook users.

So you can type in low light conditions, (if need be) without disturbing others and draining the battery too quickly.

The backlit keyboard uses significantly less battery than the backlight on the screen, which is why many Mac users keep screen brightness at or slightly below 50%. You can also go into the Keyboard settings and set the keyboard backlight to automatically turn off after 5 seconds of inactivity.

Turn off this in keyboard settings to save more battery life.

Probably none, you can't really compare, M1 GPU is overall far inferior, but fine for the purposes it was build for.
E.g it has nothing comparable to NVIDIA Cuda Cores, etc.
