However, I think it would make sense for Nissan to program it to shut off after a while if there is no key inside.

You wouldn't want to give your car over to someone to drive (forgetting that the i-key is in your pocket) and the car stalls out while they are driving down the highway. That would be bad.

OTOH, when you're just idling, the fans are kicking in to move air across the radiator and it's not cooling nearly as well as if you were driving at 30 or 50 mph.
Years ago, RX7s would catch on fire when people were driving in stop and go traffic b/c they would overheat.
