Because you seem to misunderstand some things.. or at least not explaining things well...

'instead of away' means showing something instead of the word "away", it doesn't mean instead of the status Away.
I think, it does mean instead of the status Away. I can't understand again how you could understand like that? (How many WLM user knows there are two different Away statuses?)
Then you thought wrong... Look, you can NOT change a status, but you can change what is shown to the user; how the status is called and/or shown to the user. That is the whole point of that feature. Again, you can NOT change a status. The status Away stays the status Away, the status Idle stays the status Idle.

What that option does and means is changing the WORD "away" to the correct wording: "idle". This does NOT change the status at all!

The "appropiate" means that not all the words "away" are going to be changed since not all words "away" actually represent the status Idle, some still represent the status Away.

Not everybody on this forum knows options very well. That's the whole reason why they come to this forum in the first place. And second, on a forum people explain stuff to eachother, even long time residents explain stuff to other long time residents.

There is nothing unnecessary in any of my posts here. In fact if I reread the thread and see your other replies in the beginning of this thread I see we didn't even wrote enough to explain what the Idle status is or how it worked. Because you clearly didn't know as everybody can see in this thread. So don't be so "I know everything about the features and I don't need any clarification. My suggestions are always excellent and perfect." You asked what that "when appropiate" means and/or why it is there, I explained it.

But on my reply to MenthiX or Apatik, I wrote those sentences above.
Of which some things are not correct, which I replied upon.

Show contacts as Idle instead of Away when they're inactive
Yes, your suggestion is clear. I did not replied on that!!!!!!!

And if talking about unnecessary stuff: all you needed to write (in the proper subforum and not in a post here) was this single thing I quoted above, not all the other stuff/explainations around it as it did not clearified anything and some things were even wrong and it is on those wrong things I replied upon. If you did that you would have been surprised with my reply to it as the Dutch translation has almost exactly the same translation!
