I think in this case it’s shelf life. Very little discharge for a very long time.

Doing some math, looks like a CR2032 is roughly 200mah while AA is 2000mah. So if CR2032 lasts one year, then the AA will be 10 years, two AA would be 20 years. I guess in that case lithium would be the way to go.

I just know for your typical wall clock that takes a single AA, whether it is lithium or alkaline, both won't make it much further than a year.

These have 3500mAh capacity: https://data.energizer.com/pdfs/l91.pdf
