Details

the events are only sent to System app. However, we got strongly requests from partners that they need these events for various usage. The most important one is for hardware test in engineering mode (which is an app).
Marco, can you forward this to proper people?

Unfortunately our hardware test should be able to check all physical buttons including volume and power keys to make sure they works correctly. Hardware key test is used for identify hardware malfunction of physical devices.
