What is it with people pushing the lock button on their key fob multiple times? Do they just want to annoy everyone with the chirp?

My neighbour does (did) this, was super annoying. We have it turned off on both our vehicles.

Everyone knows Iāll pay to remove push button start lol. That and plastic covering the engine I want to be able to see all metal haha. And steel wheels I hate steel wheels mainly because you can only use hammer on weights most of the time. I donāt mind the look of them without any caps.
The Toyotas we have bypass the automatic headlight timeout delay if you lock them twice. So a single lock button press lets the light timeout run to zero and then turns out the lights as normal after 30 seconds or a minute, but a double lock button press immediately turns them off.
I like and make use of this because itās a nice confirmation that the car is locked if youāre a few paces from the car, especially when coupled with the ābeepā sound.
@AutoMechanic says they're unreliable
I'd give up power windows in exchange for wing windows

Iāve replaced far too many to trust or like them lol. Plus nothing beats turning a key. Had I not replaced so many Iād probably trust them a bit more. And most of the ones I replaced was on like really new stuff.
From my present car:
Rear center fold-down armrest; adds useless weight & makes the center position nearly uninhabitable.
Power steering
Power windows (usually; occasionally they're handy)
Automatic temperature control with no way to turn heat off without lowering set temperature
Center "flying buttress" with badly placed console box with overly complex lid mechanism
Ultra-low-resolution fuel gauge
2-stage latch for hatch
Controls other than horn on steering wheel

That!add in stop start and auto locking doors.
You haven't had to drill out many riveted-in lock cylinders and it shows
They are nice if you own a dog. Much easier to clean

Only once in school when we misplaced the keys to a car lol. For a riveted one anyway and we were scrapping the car. I once broke a plastic piece on a dash replacing a push button start and it was a really expensive piece for the shop to pay for and I got my tail chewed for that one. I went to pop it off with the tool and it got stuck and I pried a little to hard. Iām not a fan of dash work as you can tell haha. I will say I do feel they have improved something about them though I used to see them fail a whole lot more frequently than I do now. Especially on Toyota products but have also replaced them on Dodge and Honda and Subaru. One of the Toyota ones the lady rear ended someone and spilled her Mtn Dew all over the button and it got sticky so it would stick in and out. Thatās why I had to replace that one it wasnāt bad otherwise. She crushed the foam cup when she hit the dash.
Remove the plastic engine cover and you will find a plastic valve cover plus plastic intakes.
It does it because to get fastest to desired temp..
Donāt like cars. Too much technology. Ye drives ye horse and buggy.
Most of them but for me, without question, drive by wire.
The gaps in throttle inputs just plain pisses me off and ruins the experience for me.
Give me a traditional linkage.
