Why would you want the backlight to stay on for a while, longer than default? Genuinely curious.

because you're in Siberia, it's 1:00 am, it's dark, you are drunk and need more time to plug that damn thing into the right whole.

Genuine answer as I see it.

In that case it's a given that you will continue to shake the thing, intentionally or not, and the ports will continue to be lit.

I'm sure someone will come out with a tweak tool to let you muck with the lighting settings once this thing is on the market.

Some edge cases juts aren't worth chasing :) And Apple's mastery in business thus far, has been knowing exactly which ones those are (as I see it).
