You sleep with your phone in your pocket?

That's really the thing doze is great at. If you forget to charge your phone, you wake up with still decent amount of battery left. Or for tablets sitting around on tables/desks.

No, I don't, but I don't often forget to hook up my phone to the charger.

I do however, sit/stand at my desk for 8-9 hours a day and maybe pull the phone out less than once an hour. I would like the phone to be in Doze mode when it's in my pocket, rather than forcing me to have to put it on my desk. As I said, I don't like leaving it unattended, even if it's simply to step away for a few minutes to the watercooler.

Sounds more like you want a setting of "syncing is not important to me"

Doze backs off sync period, trading timeliness for battery life. That's why significant motion prevents it from happening, it assumes that if it's on your person then syncing is important. Which is a generally true assumption.
