On Windows the system wakes up when connected or disconnected from an AC adapter. On Linux the system will momentarily wake up but immediately go back into suspend.

I get why this could be a source of bugs, but if I unplug my laptop while its asleep why would I want it to turn on?

Yeah I agree here. I'd expect my laptop to stay asleep if it was asleep to begin with. Also I find it kind of annoying that in order to fix bugs they have to change Linux to mimic windows, especially when it's a situation like this where the change specifically results in a different behavior which is noticable to users.
