It wasn't all that long ago when vehicles would just refuse to start every now & then, or take quite a bit of cranking to fire up. In order for this stop/start technology to work, the vehicle needs to start instantly each and every time. IC engine technology has come a long way in the last few decades. That being said, I hate this feature too and disable it every time I drive a vehicle so equipped. As mentioned before, it's all about CAFE and CO emission standards.
