Techies want control and customisation. People want convenience and smooth interop. The most used desktop OS is Windows not Linux. HNers often forget that they live in a tech bubble. Reminds of me when Dropbox was dismissed because anyone could write a little script to replicate the Dropbox functionality. Not every app needs to be a web app or use internet yet most apps nowadays do. Either you allow ALL apps to have it or you don't. You will think that devs would make apps that don't need background services. It won't happen. What will happen is that every time you open the app, you will be nagged to allow background services to run. The only thing that would stop it is for that feature to not be available at the application level.
