Users are perfectly capable of using battery stats and determine which apps consume too much power, and then make an informed decision. This is not some rocket science.
It's similar to how crappy drivers causing BSODs were for a large part responsible for the "Windows is a crappy unstable mess" sentiment of the late 90's and 00's [1]. This led to Microsoft severely restricting driver manufacturers, requiring signing and WHQL etc. Less freedom but stability and perception among users has markedly improved.
