Only if you considered the purpose of power-saving mode to reduce total energy usage, vs to reduce amount of power (and consequent wear & tear) an individual machine uses.
However that MS would release a feature like that which automatically kicks in on upgrade without any sort of consideration of what the machine was used for - it could be running life-support systems! - seems an issue. But I'd also expect a fair bit more diligence on behalf of engineers responsible for monitoring and maintaining systems that need 24x7 uptime.

- wizofaus 4y agoSounds the original use case was an example of something critical enough it shouldn't really have been running on such an OS.
