I am sure it is a safety "feature" that the manufacturers are required to have. It may well be a government mandated thing. I always thought it was silly, and I like getting the keys out while the engine runs.
My old 914 had a worn down key as well. I can't count how many times I left the engine running, yanked the keys, hopped out, opened the trunk and took the roof off or put it back on, while at a red light. Hop in buckle up, and be ready to go before the light changed.
I always kept the rear trunk in the locked mode. The button could be unlocked and remain unlocked so it was just a push button, or it could be locked, and only opened by a key. I kept it in the key only mode. I often had camera equipment back there.
