2 - People are willing to trade slightly reduced battery lifetime for greatly increased usability. It's my device, let me worry about how long it lives.

3 - People resent the attitude that the engineering team are dictating a non configurable user experience based on some perception of a largely ignorant majority of users.
I think it's really asking a lot that on a device like this, which is meant to be really simple to use, a whole bunch of stuff should be user-configurable. I think it's a compromise, and I do think there are some of us here who are satisfied. I'm definitely not resentful -- that's a big word! I really appreciate the way they are getting on here and talking with us. I think they definitely paid attention to what was being said here about needed changes. That they didn't make them exactly the way all of us would have liked is just how it goes, IMO.
