Why should a user have to install gnome-tweak (assuming they knew what
gnome-tweak was to begin with)?

This was easily configurable previously, someone just decided that users
wouldn't want to actually prevent their system from suspending when the
lid is closed.

But expecting the majority of users to start editing config files
manually, or intuiting that there's something called "gnome-tweak" that
will allow them to actually configure the power settings on their system
isn't a proper solution for an OS geared towards the masses.

To be honest, I'm NOT a typical user, and this is really the first time
I've ever heard of gnome-tweak myself.

Is there any benefit to NOT allowing users to configure this behaviour
in the system configuration tools that ship with Ubuntu?
