That's true. I evaluated it, but it wasn't of use to me as I keep my Macbook plugged in with the lid closed.

I eventually tried this instead (for Intel Macs) :

I use it to keep my battery level indicator pegged at 70%. Often doesn't persist after a system update, but it's just a quick terminal command to reapply the setting.

I use my Macbook in clamshell mode, and I use sleep mode when I'm not using it - receiving power from a Thunderbolt dock. It's handy to pick up exactly where I left off on resume. Plus, I use two LG screens where one of the two doesn't switch on after a cold boot, and it's annoying to unplug and replug to activate it. Sleep mode gets around that.
