I thought the point was to prevent the screen from being turned off *due to idle* -- that is, "wake" refers to keeping the screen from falling asleep.

What if a random page holds a screen-enabled wake-lock and I press the device's power button? We politely ask that app to let go of its wake-lock and then kill it if it doesn't? It seems much simpler just to turn off the screen. Ditto for the device's radio.
