You could get in, start the car, then get out and set the key down someplace...get in your car and drive away, and not be able to start your car back up when you got to your destination and shut it off.

Yes you can, but the car will beep at you a bit if it detects you leaving the car with it running.
As to why it does this, if the battery in the key fob dies, you wouldn't be able to drive the car. If it dies you need to hold the fob up to the start button so it can pick up the passive RFID chip in the fob.
