There are some that cars that have them in the trunk, but usually they are where you say on the top of the seats

It's intended to secure things placed in the trunk. At least on my old E46, the trunk could be locked such that the keyfob and the interior trunk release button wouldn't open it, and the valet key couldn't unlock it. So anything you put in the trunk was safe(er) from a valet, or even someone who broke a window or otherwise gained access to the cabin. If you can fold down the rear seats from inside the cabin, that all goes away.

come on; think back when you were 14, weak, and stupid (maybe it was just me). You're not going to think about all these ways to get out -- and doesn't seem to be even possible.

The car should be able to be opened from the inside even when locked.
