As I already twice said, yes, I do understand this is how it works. My question was, how useful is this display behaviour for the end user?

When I've selected an item like this and plugged the charger in, I typically want to be able to read the display without having to mess around with it every 30 seconds, and I'm not terribly interested if my battery at that point is almost empty, halfway, or already quite full.

TL;DR: I'm sure one could change the checkbox to be "display stays lit when connected to charger", and I'm confident most people would find this to be more useful than the current choice.
