Toggling a mode changes the value of the mode variable. Why would a user
want to save that new value? You might toggle a (global) minor mode several
times during an Emacs session. Turning the mode on and off doesn't imply
that you want to change the saved value. I don't see a use case for that.


If the global minor mode is at the state currently saved by Custom it will not show up in customize-customized.

I often put toggling of global minor modes in the menus. I seems conventient to me to be able to save the state of those minor modes through customize-customized then.
