Some users find the energy recommendations feature useful for optimizing battery life, especially on laptops. However, others may see it as bloat if they prefer to manually manage their power settings. It really depends on individual use and preference.
The energy savings mode works to extend how long your battery lasts when unplugged. It is useful when you go out and about.
And more than once I forgot to plug my laptop back in when I got home.
Probably not Windows bloat, but just more fine grain features and setting to adjust. I use the previous options more in Power and Battery, and had pretty much forgotten about the window, settings you posted. Thanks for reminding me
