Heat loss is heat loss

That's naive. Performance depends on the design, which varies for cooling
room air, versus wall conduction losses, making ice, defrosting, etc.

Not really...heat goes from inside the box to outside and is kept there
at some level.

The same amount of heat has to be transferred to cool N grams of water
to make ice.

Again it would change the absolute numbers; unlikely to change rankings
much at all.
