I thought most keyfobs have a button you need to press to unlock the car? Wouldn't that prevent almost all relay attacks, because the thief typically does not have physical access to the key?

You are thinking of older types of keys. Modern ones, you just have to be near the car with the key and it will unlock if you try a handle. It is ridiculously convenient.
