Not frivolous at all. Without being checked out and educated in rear seat passenger escape, nobody would discover that rear seat emergency latch.Isn't that what reading the owner's manual is all about?
As I noted above, Corvettes have had electrically-operated door latches since 2005 and also feature manual releases. But, you've got to read the manual to know where to find them.
Who buys a car, then doesn't read the manual?

Who buys a car, then doesn't read the manual? Who rents a car an doesn't read the manual? - almost everybody
Car manufacturers have had standards for a century, including door handles. Users of a product have a reasonable expectation of things to follow such standards. Tesla designers chose to deviate from such standards and people died.

Who buys a car, then doesn't read the manual? Who, as a passenger riding in a car, doesn't download the manual and read it while the car is burning?

The backseat passenger doesn’t normally read the manual. Also, Tesla doesn’t have a manual...it’s in the screen display.

Who buys a car, then doesn't read the manual? 99.999999 % of the time, the passengers.
