Note that’s a mode which needs to be explicitly activated by user, and the user is aware of. This is fine.

The post offers something else: vague heuristics, different on each website, and no feedback or ways to override.

See the difference?

I agree that it’s an important distinction, and disk space saving things are seldom automatic (but not never); but power saving mode is routinely activated without user input, e.g. Windows defaults to switching into it at 20%.
