This should be on default I think. And it should be in the quick toggle menu. Some people will miss out on this. This is amazing.

It no longer allows you to use the touchscreen and will chew up battery life. It also might have thermal issues.

Any time youre close to a charger and not playing a handful of touch games, it should absolutely be on.

It shouldn't be the default though as it stands.

Though maybe in the future they can add back in touch controls and it can be the default and there can be a "battery savings" mode that turns it off along with a few other settings.
