I must apologize, because I have not replied to the correct comments.
Let me try again :)

Here you say that connected standby is the correct solution (agreed),
but it is not available right now.
So then why change the previous behavior, where there was a setting to
allow the system to go to sleep or not, since the new system is not in
place?
If connected standby was in place, then *a lot* less people would
complain, because the reason people need to turn off the auto sleep at
lid close is when they want their laptop to be physically inaccessible
(by a cat for example) and connected at the same time.
This is 99% of the use cases that connected standby solves, but since it
is not available yet, why remove the option to turn off sleep?
How many burnt laptops where reported in bugzilla to justify this change?
We have screen brightness, auto lock and auto sleep configurations in
GNOME,
right now. There's no separate brightness configuration for AC/battery on
any mobile platform that I know of, neither is there any on macOS.
I misunderstood, sorry.

Why would we keep a feature that appeared broken, and would want disabled
by default?
Again I misunderstood, sorry.
We listen to feedback from our users (and customers), and we
haven't had
a single person want separate brightness settings for battery and mains
power. In fact, they wanted the brightness to stay the same when they
plugged or unplugged their systems. Which is what we implemented.
I know that you listen to customers.
This is why Gnome3 in RHEL includes tweak tool for example :)
Abis.
