That's because rootfs has systemd-backlight@.service to restore/save the
brightness value. Probably a good idea to do the same for initramfs.

Title:
current boot config dims screen during initramfs
Status in initramfs-tools package in Ubuntu:
New
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
This is a weird one. Shortly after moving to 17.10, my laptop has
started dimming its internal screen to minimum brightness at the start
of initramfs execution. shortly thereafter it restores it to normal
brightness, but that only happens *after* typing in encrypted
filesystem passwords, so the password dialogues are practically
invisible. Not sure why its doing this, but whatever's restoring the
brightness should do it before prompting for filesystem mounting so
these prompts are actually visible.
