Because setting it to 200 is defined to not permit spin-down.
I really don't understand why there are still these kind of files under

Bugs,
I had the Cycle Count increased by more than 800 since yesterday.
I reapply this "fix" :

There is nothing in this change that should cause battery use to increase.
I think you should file a new bug report providing
The bug solved, but the problem with the battery use is critical. And
the HD is working in high temperature.

The bug is mostly resolved, but there is still the problem sometimes
when I let the laptop alone on battery (without doing anything). This
morning I had the cycle count incremented by 30 in 2 minutes, and
yesterday about 400 in (??? I don't know, but not a very long time).

This problem is known, confirmed and being worked on.
The bug is still open on pm-utils for this reason.
Don't bother to install any hacks,
