Maybe you are satisfied with that arangement, but I would be angry
if my car was designed that way. There are times that I want to use
the car headlights to illuminate something without having the engine running.
I prefer that having the option of doing that with the "buzzer"
acting as a gentle reminder that I should consider if that is what I
really want.

I don't like to have electrically powered options unavailable just because
the ignition is off. I get very frustrated with all the GM cars that
don't let you run up the power windows after you stop the engine.
