Must be something new, my 2018 doesn't.

You dont have to fully mash the brake pedal, only enough to complete the sensor circuit. Also you can hold the start button down and it will turn on the car systems as long as the battery has enough voltage.

The problem will be if the battery has enough of a charge to run the systems while the ECM turns on the charging circuit.

I had to run out to check this. My 2018 only requires the clutch pedal to start.

I concur.

My routine when I get in my car; Slide in, (Recaro takes some maneuvering) I take it out of gear, then I push the clutch with my right foot, then push the start button. It starts right up, then I get my left leg in, and shut the door, etc. Brake is never touched...

They must have changed it with the 2019 updates. I suppose if I really wanted to I could just Hotwire the brake pedal switch.
