Proper mobile power management seems to be a hard task. Nokia exceled at it, that's why they were able to build Linux phones with proper multitasking and without the Android wakelock stuff in the kernel.

Canonical OTOH has no experience in mobile devices, so they take the easy route. Which is no problem as most users don't know it could be any better anyway.
