Yeah, but trust me--when you're in stop and go traffic and you're stopped for
maybe 3 seconds at a time, then creep forward, then stop for 3 seconds, then creep forward, etc., the constant stopping and re-starting gets annoying.
At a traffic light, for example, it can be off for quite a while; it doesn't bother me then.

Is it required by regulations or something? It's on a lot of new cars

"start-stop technology". It's big in Europe.

Supposedly it uses a different type of starter; it shouldn't wear it out faster
