Waking up the CPU some time later to clear a key sounds like a bad
waste of power. And such wakeup timers aren't universally available
and dependable. Plus, the last thing people want is having WireGuard
wake up your laptop from sleep while it's in your bag. You're now
proposing all sorts of terrible complexity, instead of the much more
simple and covers-all-real-practical-cases of "is it android or is it
not?" KISS.
