Why all the restrictions on StandBy?

Apple have put the work in, why not an option to use StandBy in any orientation? I would like to use it on my charging pad, horizontal - why not?

Why can you only use it for 20 seconds on a non-pro iPhone? It’s being charged so it won’t run down the battery?

Perhaps we can persuade Apple to add some additional settings?
