If someone wants to do it for 'bad' reasons, they're not going to be
discouraged by a little extra time and extra resource usage of having
to poll for it!

Not providing an event for this just penalizes devs/users with a
'legitimate' need for the info.

Users like to do different things depending on which app they are
using (different screen brightness, timeout, turn on/off wifi for
Internet etc).

Automation apps are reduced to battery-expensive polling to provide
this currently.
