IC truck transmission and braking

I have a question: why do IC sit-down counterbalance lift trucks shift into neutral if an operator leaves the seat / compartment? Trying to understand why they would not automatically shift into "park" or have the brakes automatically applied. Any insights from anyone as to why these trucks are set up this way?

Fact of the week
In March 2002, identical twins in Finland died on the same day in similar accidents within hours of each other. A 70-year-old man was killed by a truck while cycling; hours later, his twin brother was killed by a truck on the same road, about a mile away, before the family had been informed of the first accident.
