I sat and listened to the "Welcome to the Saab 9-5" CD that came with my car and it said that the remote only worked within a short range of the car so that you can't open the car 200 feet away and have somebody get into your car between you unlocking it and arriving at it. I think they just designed it crappy and came up with this lame excuse though. If they really thought it out they should have made it do you could LOCK the car from far away and only unlock it if you're close.
WIS says the tailgate delayed-lock CAN be programmed. It can be shut off so it locks immediately or the delay can be set to anywhere between 5 to 250 seconds.
