Sort of makes sense. But can't be totally dormant if it can receive a
signal.

Is this whole keyless entry / start a solution to a problem that
didn't exist?

Yes - like curved TVs and stupid phones with wrap around the edge
screens. Making things worse by "solving" a problem that didn't exist in
the first place.

My old MINI has the best idea - you clip the key in a holder on the dash.
