I can't say that my experience agrees with this. Maybe some higher-end vehicles had it a decade ago, but it seems to be getting more popular over the past 5 years or so. I still don't see it offered on lower priced vehicles where basic cruise functionality is there, but I doubt ever will be a part of "entry level" considering the tech required.

None of the vehicles my family owns have a "stop-and-go" cruise control function - all newer than 10 years. ACC at higher speeds is available on one, but it will not auto-resume if the vehicle stops.
