I prefer starting without the clutch depressed also, figuring it has less of a load on the crank bearings before oil pressure is built up, since pressing in on the clutch pushes on the crank. Whether or not it really makes any difference over 150k miles, I don't know, but I always jiggle the shifter to make sure it's in neutral as a matter of habit, so I haven't had any problems.
If you're worried about starting in gear, think about what happens when you press in the clutch, starting in gear, and then forget it's in gear.
You pop out the clutch, same result and worse, since it's now up to speed.
You can only go so far to make things foolproof- there's always a cleverer fool to find a way around it. ;)
