Ah right, I see what you mean. My confusion came from that I don't use
a separate screensaver just GDM/Gnome shell and don't have those
options directly. I don't use Wayland because of NVIDIA optimus and
stuff, but it might not be relevant here anyway.

Yes, I agree about the application support, I reached out to Spotify
about this question, but would be great if someone could point me to
some API other apps like Totem use to suspend power management when
something is playing.

Thanks,
