Good point - it would be great to know when you're on battery, and do
even less.
What would be even more helpful than going back and forth
"apps should know about battery" ..
"no they should not" ..
"but they need to" ..
would be if people who have concerns about their apps would bring actual
use-cases forward.
Once the tradeoff between user experience and power consumption is clear
there are generally tradeoffs, sure.
but battery tends to be not the right input to that.
ask any datacenter operator.
but even on phones.... most often performance is temperature limited, as
is battery charging.
if you suddenly make the phone hot due to heavy cpu work, your battery
will charge slower.
And/or you may have less capacity to raise the cpu speed due to the
system being warmer already.
