Dimming is just light.room: turn on > XX% so it makes sense that it would turn on all lights assigned to that specific entity. I use Adaptive Brightness so that I don't have to fiddle with dimming lights manually. The sun does that for me.

I know how it works, I'm just saying it's unintuitive. It's not how any other smart home system works.

I use adaptive brightness too, actually. But nearly every time I'm manually adjusting a room's existing brightness, I don't want every single unpowered devices to turn on, too.

You could create a separate light group for the ones you typically do have on at those times and just use that when you want to dim the room lights
