This "novel" feature is already supported by GrapheneOS and set to trigger after 18 hours by default, with the option for the user to adjust it to their preference. There is no good reason to force the choice of 72 hours on everybody. That's a user-hostile design decision.

Back in my day, this was a non-issue because our phone batteries didn't last more than 6 hours.

(Although I guess this change applies also to powered-on phones? Which is cool... this is why I choose Apple products.)
