Some pretty sketchy stories. Proximity keys work outside the vehicle to unlock/lock doors. Vehicles won’t start with keys outside vehicle- yes the vehicle can detect if keys are inside or outside the vehicle.

Nope. I have a 2020 Chevy Trail Boss truck with push button start. The truck will start with the keys outside of the truck but in close proximity.
Mine requires the brake depressed - odd the Chevy doesn't.
Having the keys outside of the truck has nothing to do with pressing the brake. I can put the key faub 2 feet away on the ground. Get in the truck, press the brake and it will start. I have not tried driving away from the keys, not sure what happens then.
