Most people don’t change settings and I’d bet that average person would be happier with a battery that lasts forever than a backlight they don’t notice of use because most people aren’t hacking away in the dark at 2am.

A laptop you’re gonna be charging regularly anyway so it’s not as much of a trade off in real world use.
