They set the boot lid up like that so you can pop it on a rainy day and it doesn't fly open and fill the boot with water.
I don't feel this point.
I can give you few examples. Sometime (for me it's most of the times!) you don't open it for yourself, but you open it for someone else exiting the car and collecting the luggage, in example. It would be very annoying to "coordinate" the opening or leaving the other person to find the button (most of my passengers doesn't even know where it is), so you unlock it from the inside leaving the person to fully open it whenever they are comfortable to do so (in example if they are holding an umbrella), otherwise under heavy rain it'll rain inside the trunk.

Well, we don't even have to agree with each other. We have 3 buttons to unlock the trunk.I can give you few examples.

This is just an example.. for me (as mentioned in the other message) is the shelve: normally I open the trunk from inside the car, when I have my hands free, then I collect whatever I need to collect by gently opening it...
I would never have an "automatic" opening trunk, unless it had a sensor for obstructions and a raining sensor (but it's asking too much for a Mustang..
I would never choose an option on the car just so that passengers or other people who do not use the car have an easier way to open the trunk. For me that's the least I think of.I use the inside button, because usually when I exit my car I have the keyfob in the pants and one hand busy, so it's tricky, for a similar reason is tricky to push the button above the license plate (because of limited space). So the best option I have is to open it before, and then just move it to fully open. I mean, for me, it's the easiest way.
Plus the other reasons I've explained (when raining). And I'm sure there's other reason which wouldn't come to my mind now.
It would be nice to have two ways of opening it, but this car is missing the light in the glove box (you have to use your phone torch to find a document), how do you pretend to have a such comfort outside?
This and it’s not a Lincoln.
Ford lost huge on EV division and they’re making up that loss cutting costs on all ICE models.
I noticed this too, the first time I drove it home up the highway. Did see a Youtube video about alignment of panels on the front, and they suggested adjusting the rubber stops under the bonnet......did this and it did have an improvement on the fluttering for lift off when a truck passes the opposite direction.
