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?

According to studies published in the English Journal of Medicine, the impact of daylight savings is revealed by a 24% increase in heart attacks on the Monday following the spring shift forward. When clocks move back in autumn, heart attacks drop by about 21%, suggesting that loss of sleep is an important driver.
