I would guess this was mandated by, or aimed at pleasing, emission sensitive EU countries.

When I was in Malaysia, all the scooters at intersections would que up in front of the trucks and taxis in huge packs, revving away while waiting for the light to change. The resulting cloud of smoke was actually quite impressive.

Personally, I would hate it. I've seen too many people rear ended after stalling at a light, and as far as I'm concerned, this is just one more thing to fuck up when you least expect it.
