Have you ever been somewhere cold? Starting the car and getting the defrosters and heat going is helpful when your windows are covered in ice/snow. Depending on the conditions I think it can even be extremely difficult to open a car door without hot water or a remote start. Plus, it is nice to have a warm car rather then sit in the cold until it warms up. Even without a remote start most people will go out and start their car and let it warm up and the windows defrost so they can safely drive. Sure you can also scrape them to get ice/snow off but you typically also need the heat running for a bit to get them defogged or whatever.
