What's up with brightness settings in apps?

So I had Handcent SMS. I really liked it too. Then one day some random update made it start changing the brightness automatically. And lo and beho, there was no way to get it to NOT adjust the brightness. Same with the Miren Browser. And suddenly I have double duty, changing brightness whenever I go inside or out, in two places instead of one.

What makes developers think their apps need to control brightness independently from the rest of the phone?
