Because we're not discussing data requirements but battery life. He said the battery gets used up from folks surfing more and playing games in addition to using it as a phone. Sorry that you got hung up on that "data intensive" phrase but frankly we can't help your poor reading comprehension and narrow focus on two words out an entire freaking paragraph.
I can't read? Lets see that they said...

The guy claimed there was no other device that was as data-intensive, and battery-hungry. Maybe the reason I got hung up on it was because that is what they claimed, you might want to catch up on that comprehension thing yourself...
And battery life? You guys might not know this, but all devices will drain their batteries faster when they are used under pressure, it isn't just an iPhone that has this problem.
NYT disagrees. They use 10 times the network capacity than the average smartphone user. This includes browsing, twitter, maps, apps, video, yelp, flicker, weather, etc.

I have said this before, and I will say it again, once you get out of primary school you may be able to comprehend some of this stuff.
There are two metrics being thrown around and you must learn to differentiate them.
1. Usage, that is how much someone uses the device.
2. data capacity, this is how much the device can hit the network.
For No.2 the iPhone can use no more data than a number of other devices in the world (infact it can use less than some of the currently shipping phones). It is limited to 7.2Mbit/s, and will have trouble getting to this as a lot of networks around the world max out at 3.6.
So, so matter how much someone uses the device (see No.1), they cannot exceed the data capacity (see No.2) of the device
And another thing, those are all US stats, since I am not a US resident, I don't really care for those stats.
meh I been using data on phones since WAP days at 14.4k, I've tethered using GPRS when I used to hit 600MB a month, I've used Opera (Mini and Mobile) and built in browsers.
Before getting an iPhone my average usage was ~35-40MB a month, since getting an iPhone that has jumped to ~1 GB a month.
As the iPhone loads full pages directly off the web, not parsed through Opera's or Blackberry's servers I have found it to be very data intensive and through the sheer ease and pleasure involved in using it I find that I use it more than other phones I've owned in the past thus straining the battery so much so that charging it twice a day is not uncommon.
Judging by all the reports from various sources a lot of people use their iPhones like I do.

Believe it or not.
I've been using data on phones since the CSD days, but that doesn't change the fact that you can't physically use more bandwidth than the phone/network can provide.
