My theory is that these cars have multiple drivers.

Driver A is used to vehicles with manual headlights and always turns their lights off when they get out.

Driver B is used to "everything is automatic" and touches nothing when they get in.

This is very possible -- I had this exact situation with my girlfriend until I managed to get her used to leaving it in automatic mode.
