The official recommended practice (in UK) is to stop at red-light, shift to Neutral; pull handbrake; release brake pedal… and this how most manual cars are driven by UK drivers.

Since Auto-Hold does all of this on its own; to have the option of turning off brake lights on Auto-Hold is not that surprising….
You Brits are way too polite. If you accidentally left have your brake lights on, do you get out of the car and apologize to the driver behind you?
