Seems sensible enough to me. Brake lights are a pretty fundamental safety feature. This allows you to put a large load in and have the boot open but tied to hold it in position (which is pretty common - see it coming out of B&Q daily), but still have brake lights for safety.
I don't see what's wrong with that?
Coppice makes a great point. We sit and say how we'd love to go back to older simpler cars because you can fix them yourself. But they also broke more often. You won't find many Ford Escorts with a quarter of a million miles and rust free bodywork floating about. But you'll find plenty of Skodas and VWs with that sort of mileage.
