The problem with that idea is that the battery's charge will gradually "evaporate" - leave it unattended for too long and it could completely drain. That means that either the displayed status is going to become increasingly inaccurate or it needs to "wake up" once in a while, just enough to fetch the new status.

Not that it's a bad idea - it's just not quite as simple as you appear to think.
