The problem is that in most countries outside the US (including the UK), it's actually illegal to leave a vehicle with a running engine unattended.

Hence the reason why cars sold in this country with a pre-heat facility use parking heaters rather than remote start.

You wouldn't believe the legislative shit you have to take into account when you're designing a car. Speaking for the company I work for, the cars we sell in Europe and the cars we sell in the US are superficially identical, but under the skin there are subtle hardware differences and the computer programming is mightily different.
