Speaking for Google and our ChromeOS USB-C policy, yes, if the host is
in S0iX or S3, an already attached USB-C docking station in DP Alt
Mode will respond to a display attach via HPD via an Alert message in
USB PD. We called this feature wake-on-dock.

We implemented wake-on-dock for DP Alt Mode in the EC, since our EC
handles USB PD anyway, and is handling the PD Alert message which
contains the HPD status.

However, when the dock supports USB4 or Thunderbolt, those modes don't
involve USB PD for device attach, so our EC doesn't have the role of
waking the system, so something else on the system must, which is this
feature being discussed.

Yes, I would support making this toggle-able like other wakeup sources.
