They're lights that turn on while you're running during the day time. If handbrake is on, thats a good reason for the car to think you wont be running :P
Its like asking why brake lights dont come on when you're not braking.

Original purpose of DRLs was to enhance safety by providing a visual signal during daytime to others that your car is moving towards them.
This is also why they normally turn off when low beams come on (also because those bright LEDs may be blinding to some).

Things change with time though, not sure what default DRL settings for other cars are.
I personally wish it wasnt this way, just to make it easier to take pictures of my car with the DRL on, but oh well.

Also.. why e-brake at a stop light... still learning MT on hills?
