I don’t really understand how this behavior is safer…
The worst part is people have to pay for the MB remote start service, once I heard that, I didn't even want it.

Other manufacturers add them for free.

*****Yea. And, it wasn't cheap either. I bought it, was less than impressed as it really isn't even as nice as the one my neighbors 30k pickup truck that he bought for his kid is - which is on the keyfob and works *great*. I got my money back from MB and don't miss it not even working half the time, when it worked at all. My car is a 2018 C63s so perhaps the newer cars remote start works better. It did not seem ready for prime time, at least for my generation of vehicle. Glad I got my money back from that debacle that I spent WAY too much time trying to figure out with MB on the phone, etc..

I guess I'm the outlier...I like the MB platform. Shows you the interior temp, allows for remote start, and shows your gas level (if you use it with Companion). And I can tell you, it's the fastest app to connect to the car (eg compared to Acura, Honda, etc).

2019+, its even better; shows a pictoral of the car, showing if a specific door is unlocked or even open, shows mileage, fuel, allows for remote start, etc.

As previously mentioned, the remote start engine off when you open the door is a theft prevention feature. Annoying, but helpful.
