Like with anything to do with security and convenience, there is always a trade off (longer passwords are more secure but harder to type, etc...). I don’t think this is a big enough security issue right now for car manufacturers and insurance companies to really do too much about. I used to have a car without this feature and it was sort of annoying for 5 seconds each time I have to unlock the car. I do get annoyed when I get a rental without this feature too. Additionally, this also helps when I am carrying bags or other large items with two hands. I can simply make a kicking motion at the bottom bumper of my car and the trunk will open automatically instead of me having to put the bags down and fish for my keys. I agree that it is minor and not a real deal-breaker, but it is a nice to have.
