Are you sure its benchmarks which are the only apps which can use it?
The idea of making a blacklist of apps which take up 100% of a CPU despite not needing it to function sounds like a good idea to me. Some games might do that by endlessly spinning rather than sleeping or something until the next time they need to process state/draw a frame etc.
Benchmarks are obvious candidates not to put on such a list because when you use them taking up 100% performance is reasonable.
So depending on the apps on the list I could see it being deceptive, or just curating a list of apps which weren't developed with power usage in mind.
