Speaking from (almost) complete ignorance, it would seem that many religions have restrictions on performing certain tasks or using technology on the Sabbath.
Putting out products with "Sabbath mode" to willfully circumvent the touching of the controls seems awfully silly, and most likely seems so to G-d as well.
