--- Comment #5 from Nate Graham <nate at kde.org> ---
You're requesting a feature to hide a feature? :D I don't think we are going to
do that, sorry.

I'm also not sure your original premise is correct; you say this is completely
useless on a desktop machine, but that's not the case because desktop systems
sleep and lock the screen just like laptops do.

If you've configured your personal machine to never sleep, then the switch
still controls screen locking. The only case where this UI element would be
completely useless if if you've configured your machine to never sleep and also
never lock the screen — irrespective of whether it's a desktop, laptop, or any
other kind of device.

I think it's reasonable to hide the UI when it will have no effect since both
sleep and screen locking is disabled; renaming this ticket to be about that.
However note that this is a super niche thing so I would not expect it to he
implemented anytime soon.
