I understand your intention but doubt any practicality.
If you use an app to give you functionality A and you derived it usually costs X resources. Now it is using Y>>X. You ask it why.
It might not be able to answer, since it could be unintended, a bug, something outside it's control (os level, other app contention) changed. So it responds 'I don't know'.
It might be able to answer if the behavior is intentional and part of the systems knowledge space for the current parameters. So you'll get a response like 'I'm optimizing the A experience'.
Either way its not much more actionable than just noticing the App is using more resources.

- PeterStuer 4y agoI do understand the intention. You want info for a decision whether to grant or deny the resources. I'm just doubting the practicality. Compare it to progress bars. How often do you see those progressing in linear correlation to time left?
