Good point, that may be what I was thinking about when up above I said

But it may be possible to have a timer that's not running on the main cpu so you could be right.

It could be that the power off timer runs on a separate timer, not on the cpu, and when it fires it's interrupt level is like pressing the power button when it's asleep except that the cpu sees that it's the timer firing and shuts down. The ESP cpu that's used for IOT has something like that as I remember; a low power sleep that can be woken from a separate timer going off.
So technically I'd guess it could be done to have the time displayed on the sleep screen. But it may require different or more chips which could raise the costs beyond profitable levels.
And yes, I'm flip flopping / talking out of both sides of my mouth.
