Could be an overheating concern maybe. Some laptops weren't designed to run with the lid closed, if it inhibits the air flow.

I can't tell for sure, but it looks like a Lenovo y510p. Or at least it looks very similar to the one I owned back in the day.

There was a vent in the hinge, and these things would absolutely cook themselves with the lid closed

I'm currently using a y510p as a home lab. Every update resets the shutdown-on-lid-close setting. Had to set up a cron job to re-disable it on boot.

I'm pretty sure there is a regular systemd config option for that

It's still better to have a server like that run hot for a while before someone who knows what up can open it back rather than allowing someone to just walk up, accidentally close it, and shut everything down. If your laptop is mission critical, no sleep when closed needs to be on
