I believe that's the beauty of options like CONFIG_USB_SUSPEND. If you leave the machine running crunching numbers (of whatever), with USB_SUSPEND the devices not used (say, the backup disk you transfer to the results of your crunching every weekend) can be suspended, saving a little bit of power. You don't leave the monitor turned on and disable the power off features of it, right? Really, I think many others have contributed enough reasons to make it obvious that there is no reason to not turn on this kind of options in the kernel.
