This bug affects me as well.

There are a lot of use cases where this happens either a user disables the screen (working on a second monitor) or the automatic features disable it. If the PC/laptop is then locked there is no way of enabling the backlight.

This should be enabled for the main shortcuts like:
- Backlight
- Keyboard backlight
- Volume

And could be enabled for the media buttons (play/pause)

I experience this bug multiple times a week so as Tomi Pieviläinen said the importance could be higher.
