I don't see this as stupid and certainly would not code around this "problem." I have manual and always park the car with the transmission in first gear. This, I understand, is standard practice, and it also gives added assurance that my car won't roll while parked under any circumstances. I would not trust the parking brake alone to firmly hold a car parked in neutral.

Even if you don't normally leave it in gear while parked, the fact that you can and if you do it even once, it could be costly to remote-start it.
