AirNZ did this a few years ago - it caused much resentment from the crew who quickly found they could just forget to turn it on; or keep it on for a minimal time.
After 20+ years of flying Qantas domestically, I just call it the "ignore button". (To be fair, they do respond in a reasonably timely fashion about ¼ of the time.)
I agree with those posting about going to the galley instead.
