That's what we used to have, in the GNOME 2 and early GNOME 3 days, and users
absolutely hated it. Instead, we have automatic brightness based on the current
light in the room on hardware that supports it, which also takes the user's
wishes into accounts to avoid fluctuating too much.
It seems a nonsense justification,
What about all those Desktop and Laptops that do not have a light
sensor? I think most users lose options for innovation, which is good
and useful, but at least maintain basic options until most of the
hardware count on these benefits.

That's nice they make cooking laptops in backpacks a low priority. At least
it's still on IRC!
This seems to me an insult ... Do you mean that users and development
teams of other desktop environments and platforms are wrong? It sounds
like great pride ...
