That's a very wrong assumption. An obvious counter case is to use a laptop as a server.
It may be a counter case, but not a very _common_ case.
Possibly not common, but I've done it. And the whole concept of using a raspberry pi as a server is similar.
There is yet a RPI to show up with a lid, though. And if there is a lid, you can change the behavior, as Claudio mentions. It's just a default.
Yes, please set the default to "not suspend on lid close", this feature annoyed me so often.
I have a suspend button for suspending, every laptop nowadays has one. If I have my laptop connected to my television, I want to shut down the lid and continue watching the video (there are probably a hundred more examples).
Adopting to Microsoft Windows when they invented this stupid behavior was wrong.
My 2 cents,
Thomas
