That is exactly what auto brightness is supposed to do, but at some point Apple did make it so that when screencurtain was turned on brightness would get set to 0% regardless whether auto brightness was turned on or not. This makes complete sense, Apple has full control over their hardware and software and obviously if somebody turns on screencurtain they couldn't care less if brightness was kept up at 30% or whatever, it only uses more battery and just as certain behaviours are triggered when Voiceover is turned on I am sure Apple can trigger certain behaviours when screen curtain is turned on such as setting brightness to 0% and overwriting the auto brightness setting. If of course this doesn't work as it should then Apple needs to figure out why.

At least, that’s my understanding. I always have it off, and I turn it up if I need sighted assistance with something.
