I'm not sure you actually understand how Start-Stop works. Only the engine shuts down, not the entire electrical system. Additionally, in every car I've driven with Start-Stop there has been an easily accessible switch to turn it on or off. That means not having to scroll through screens or menus, just push the button. (It also means not letting the engineer who designed the seat memory recall on the '14's design the Start-Stop system.)
On the cars I've rented in Europe that had it installed, I didn't find it intrusive. Maybe because I just turned it off when I thought it might be. Also, traffic signals with a warning yellow light prior to a green light meant no delay at the light as I'd put it into gear on yellow which automatically restarts the engine. US signals don't have that, but they should.
