Yes, the whole concept of removing the mechanical load from an engine

fuel which is best achieved by turning off the ignition. That hinges
critically on not accidentally locking the steering wheel: the thing
that the video said was highly likely but people on this thread have
said doesn't happen until the keys are removed - unless anyone knows of
exceptions to that for certain vehicles.

I'd say any vehicle which locked the steering when you simply turned off
the ignition faulty. As well as positively dangerous.
