Purely from a "what's it do for me?" POV, saving power makes batteries
last longer, which improves the user experience.

From a world POV saving power reduces the consumption of energy which is
also a good thing.

In the end I still feel it should be a maintainer choice, as with almost
everything we do, but yes, I feel that from a project level we should
prefer to save power where we can.and work toward more power savings
work.
