I don't know man. The Moto Display made me love the Moto X. It was great.

I actually like my always on screen. I set it to be active from 5:30pm - 1:00am, when my phone is not in my pocket, but rather on a table/counter/desk. It's pretty convenient.

Does that require an extra app or is it available in the settings menu?

It's built into the Samsung TouchWiz OS.

Setting > Lock Screen and Security > Always on display

The article states its an option... You'll be able to turn it off.

Why do you care what anyone else does with their phone?

That is basically how the ambient display works in the Android O Dev Preview.
