The same issues exist in Windows as well. They actually exist BECAUSE Windows no longer supports real sleep mode. Microsoft does this to push "modern standby" so they can phone home 24/7.

This seems like a less likely incentive than the expectation created by phones and tablets that the device become ready "instantly".
Qualcomm has moved into the laptop space and brands their products as "always-on, always-connected" such that your programs are not halted while the screen is inactive/lid is closed. Microsoft may feel like some of their laptops compete with iOS/Android devices that respond quicker. Maybe they want x86_64 Windows to work just as well as ARM Windows in this regard.
