I consider it quite an improvement as a laptop user, so clearly this is
not as clear cut as you say.

*If* this key combination sends something via the keyboard device, then
it would be possible to have the desktop environment see it and act
appropriately. This is not always the case (varies between laptops),
sometimes the firmware acts on it directly and changes things behind the
driver's back.
