What would you expect to happen in the case of:

3.  Stop the car, apply handbrake, put into neutral, engine not stopped
by economy features (e.g. because battery charging), do not turn off,
door opens.

I would expect the car not to change state (i.e. keep the engine running - because I am just opening the garage door so I can park up, or something similar).

For your second case - transitioning the vehicle to engine-running would seem to align it with this state, and acts as a reminder that you have not turned off.  Seems to have a logic to it.
