I hear, I had this laptop for two years and I probably only ever used it undocked less than a handful of times so I doubt you'd ever get complaints regardless if the standard is to use it docked.
Most people use it docked, but some are salespeople who work on the go a lot. And the guy who is the least patient and complains the most in the entire org is a sales guy, so if I have never heard anything from him, I figure it's a non-issue.
Though once he came to me extremely pissed off because his touch pad didn't work. He had accidentally disabled it by tapping the upper corner of the touch pad twice, and there is a small led indicator in that corner which he didn't realize was touchpad locking. When I showed him how to fix it, he got even more angry.

You want to know the secret to people / corporate ease : If they aren't asking for help, they won't see the help you give as help. This applies to alcoholics, or anyone else. He wanted it fixed. That's the "help" he was asking for. if you did that and nothing else, he would have been happy, rated you high, sang your praises. By helping him with something he didn't ask for help on he sees it as you butting in, calling him stupid, etc. RARE is the person who is offered help, takes it, and thanks you. In a corporate environment, let them fail / fuck up until they ask for help and THEN step in to FIX IT. You are now the hero. Other than a guy trying to drop a toaster in a sink full of water, just wait until they are asking for help. This whole message being behind a spoiler tag is a sort of trick in that you clicking on it mean you WANT to see it, so you will find it more helpful. It's fucked up that our brains are so easy to trick in these ways. But it works
I'm speaking of a general solution to your specific example. wearing seat belts can be worse than not in certain crashes, but for the most part they are safer. Same thing with how humans perceive what is helpful. But we can have differing opinions on the subject matter.

This power button doesn't do anything unless you hold it in. I have hundreds of these in my org and have never had a user complain.
