Depends on your DE.

KDE is geared towards desktops

The power adjustment interface differs among different lines of laptops, IIUC, and there is no standard defining how these interfaces should work. It can take significant effort to reliably support a laptop line in this sense, and the dumb/easy/portable approach is going to be less efficient. I know this has been a problem with BSDs in the past, at least.
