There is (almost) no firmware and/or bios issue here. It's the OS's scripts that set insane defaults.
As about aggressive power management settings - let's not forget that a hard drive is a delicate mechanical piece of equipment that spins at 5400 or 7200 rotations per minute.
It is not supposed to be turned on and off every 2 minutes just like your car's engine is not supposed to be turned off whenever you stop at the red light of the semaphore.
