    Also they probably want to avoid the issue of a user accidentally sliding it all the way to the left and then being unable to use their phone lol, there’d be no way to fix it except finding a dark room (if you were even aware of what happened and why your screen “won’t turn on”)

      This certainly happened to me ones. “Can I see the screen on minimum brightness while it’s bright outside?” the answer is no, I could not

      My screen gets dimm enough that it’s almost impossible to see outside with the slider at the left.

      The solution is extremely easy though. Put an option in the settings so pressing volume up/down while the screen is locked changes the brightness instead of the volume.
