They do it so their car doesn't roll if the parking brake fails.
There are some remote start systems that have a "neutral safety switch" to prevent you from trying to start your car when it is in gear. I looked into it a while back, but it was too expensive for me...
I believe it is illegal in some states to have a remote start on ma manual transmission car.
