Requirement so you can leave it in neutral for towing, etc.

Ahh... good to know about N (not that I use it). Looks like when the system finally "goes to sleep" it just locks reverse. And it saves those "I don't know what happened. I left the vehicle and it rolled away!" type news stories.

Stopped my car in a parking spot, put it in park with foot on brake and pressed the off button, got out, locked my door on via the remote and walked off in a hurry. 2.5 hours later after the movie I came back to the car and it was running the whole time and unlocked in the parking lot.
When I pressed the off button, I restarted the car without realizing it. Of course the car won’t lock via the remote when the engine is running but since I was in a hurry, I didn’t look back. I really hate this auto stop start feature and hope I didn’t damage my engine. It was relatively cold outside and no engine warnings.

you should put the car in park, release the brake, and press the correct button "stop".

maybe I'm confused but what you describe is not auto stop start. You basically started the car by putting your foot on the brake and pressing the wrong button. The car started without you realizing it and you walked away.
