And maybe make rescue more difficult after a crash?

Doors are part of the structure of the vehicle and must stay closed to do their job in a collision. To my understanding this is the primary if not sole reason doors lock after a few seconds in motion.
Not much more difficult. In case of a crash first responders break the window and unlock the door.
