This is the right answer. It's like most things. The impact of the actions of one person may be small, but the impact of those same actions over a much larger population can be significant.
So it's about more the wasted gas and unnecessary emissions from the actions of just one individual. If everyone did what the OP did, we could collectively consume more gas than necessary and create more emissions than necessary.

but I don’t think most people want to fuel their car while it’s running

He didn't say "what" is strapped in.
I'm thinking C-4 cuz it can be tempermental, at least on movies I seen.
Could be unreplaceable & rare collectibles too, don't want anything to happen to those either.
I just made all that up but thought it sounded good. haha

There's no "Huh" about it. RX469 is spot-on.
Back in the 1970s, there were fatalities in vehicle-fires when people trapped in the back seat of coupes (and sometimes sedans/wagons) couldn't get out quickly, either because of cumbersome belt-systems, poorly-designed setback-releases, tight-clearance, or other design problems, One notorious design-problem was seatback-releases that were small, trigger-like, and down hear the floor, where you couldn't actually see the latch, and had to grope for them by feel. Some vehicles had the release at chest-height, on the back of the front seat, right in front of you, with a visible button....but that cost more money, and some automakers cheaped out.

Why not let the author explain his nonsensical sentence? Maybe he (and) you should reread your replies before posting.

Its like me with the topping off the tank. I have done that for 25 years, and then I saw that it actually was potentially harming the car for no benefit and I stopped. None of those people in the videos I posted thought anybody would ever come up to their car and steal it while they were pumping gas either...

What I want to know is how is it remotely safe if a crossover with 3 rows is loaded up…flips over…on its side…how the heck does someone get out of the 3rd row in (let’s say) a Lexus 450L. To me…that is unsafe. Have you ever seen how tiny that 3rd row is?

I just don't understand breaking the law, putting yourself at risk for crime and injury and wasting money just out of a desire to be stubborn and refuse to see that the way you've always done it just isn't the best way. When gunning the car and taking unnecessary trips there at least is a benefit to you, you enjoy gunning the car and you enjoy or want to take more trips. I just for the life of me can't see any benefit letting your car idle when refueling has other than "You're not going to tell me what to do". Do you enjoy having your car run while its filling up? I don't get it. If you want to watch the gas gauge fill up, it will do that in accessory mode with no ability to be carjacked, no risk of a fire, and no waste of fuel.

If I'm held to a standard to preserve fuel why shouldn't the person who has a problem with idling while filling up be? They like it when they gun their cars which wastes fuel; I like staying warm and leaving my car running while it fills up.
