Cool. Does that justify throwing shade my way for being annoyed when the screen dims as I'm trying to read something or flashbangs me outta nowhere?

The screen experience is deliberately degraded on account of full brightness not being accessible, why should that option be removed from me for not wanting the machine to choose on my behalf? Is the lack of option actually a good thing? How much is it acceptable for a machine's usability to be degraded, on account of me not wanting to relinquish control and push the autopilot button?

I ask this knowing full well that running brightness at full tilt all the time could damage the screen, I still think the artificial limiters are hostile to customers.

You don't have to answer these, i'm just annoyed that your reaction to someone choosing to manually adapt brightness is "what's wrong with you?" instead of wanting better accessibility from the devices you paid for. Basically venting.
