You previously stated that the keyhole powers the fob if it has no battery. What I'm saying is that there's no value in doing that as far as I'm able to see. i.e., the functions of the fob that require power won't/can't be used while the fob is in the keyhole/fobgina anyway.
The FOB performs several functions:

1) It allows you to remotely lock/unlock doors and activate the emergency alarm.
2) Allows you to lock/unlock the doors and trunk if you are in the proximity of the car.
3) Allows you to start the car as long as the fob is inside the car.
4) Prevents other people from unlocking your door by pushing the buttons on the door handles.

Obviously the FOB is designed to be beneficial if it has batteries. If it runs out of battery they still provide you with some ways to turn your car on until you replace the battery. If the FOB has no battery, you cannot remotely lock/unlock your car. That is the same with any remote key-less entry system.

My apologize, but I fail to see what your point is. Are you saying that a device without batteries is (mostly) useless? Yes, I agree it is.
