Event details
The ESP consists of the "device" ESP, which is displayed during OOBE proper (i.e., before Windows logon), and "user" ESP, which is displayed after Windows logon. OOBE itself prevents the device from going to sleep. For the user ESP, there's no built-in sleep prevention, and so you'd have to go with work-arounds, like targeting a script to the device to configure sleep/lock (and have it run during the ESP), and undo that when the user reaches the desktop via another scheduled task.
Darn. I was afraid you'd say that. 😁
Where is the right place to provide this feedback to?
Given that the user phase usually takes MUCH longer (due to apps installing), it seems this must be a common issue. Is it not?

You can file a Feedback Hub item to make the suggestion. (Although my team owns the ESP, so... :D ) You're right that customers that don't use AP registration can't target apps to devices easily, and so need to depend on the user ESP to deliver them.
