I explained it clearly and in full detail already, but it comes down to this: it's not optional, and it will reduce battery life...while giving no unique benefit. That is more than enough reason for me to be opposed.

Make it entirely optional and i have no objections.

Also, nice hyperbole with the assembler comment.
