The other thing I frequently see called out about airplane engines is they run these power levels for hours on end. Typical car usage hits peak power for a very limited amount of time before dropping to something minimal.

Yes this is a big one. An aircraft engine will run at 60% power or more for almost the entire flight. A car engine is typically running at far lower power levels than that.
