This reminds me of the android ui for turning of WiFi when the screen is off. It used to be on one of the settings pages. Now you have to go to settings, WiFi, menu, advanced. There are numerous articles in the Google index of people having trouble finding this option. It makes a WiFi only tablet last for a very long time without recharging if you don't use it too much. Why would they want to hide that option?



Kind of prefer it is hidden myself. As a developer with apps that sometimes upload and the like in the background, I don't want countless emails from users who have flipped that switch and can't get their scores to post or whatever.
