Auto start/stop is NOT a mandate.
It's trick OEMs use to improve MPG ratings.

I don't really care all that much about auto-start/stop, but I do agree that more options should be configurable in the car and preserved through ignition starts.
This may be one of them, along with default M-mode ON at the start, cruise-control ON at the start, fake sounds in the cabin, etc. Some of those can be coded with E-sys, others not at all.
