How long is the charger cable though? The battery life isn't really a problem since I don't mind having it plugged in, but the current charger cables are so short that it's impossible to have it plugged in and sit a decent amount away from the TV at the same time.

I usually plug the controller to a normal power outlet or my notebook so I don't have a cable crossing the room.

The Wii U Pro controller has a 1300mah battery, and it lasts ten times as long as the ds4 battery. I'm sure some improvements an still be made to improve battery life without upping the capacity.

Did you properly measured it in gaming hours for each or you are using that same method that gives this difference because you play one 10x more than the other?

I don't own a DS4 yet, I'm just going by what others have told me (6-10hrs). I do own a Pro controller, and I can honestly say it lasts at least 50+hrs. I've owned it for 3yrs and only charged it 3-4 times -- I've never even seen the low battery warning. Nintendo rates it for 80hrs, and I'm actually inclined to believe them.

It is important to note that Nintendo's Pro Controller lacks the analog triggers, speaker, touch pad, and lights of the DS4. I've also been told the rumble is weak, but that hasn't been my experience.
