The whole point was to make the vehicle difficult to steal. Hot wiring a grounded coil doesn't work...hot wiring around a relay does. The object isn't to routinely ground out your coil, it is to keep unwanted thieves from easily taking your ride. I would rather have someone run my battery don trying to start my truck rather than try to replace it with insurance money.
