You used to log back into your house (or apartment, or free company house private room, etc) way back in the day, but this was changed to how it works now because it caused a few different serious issues. Rather than fixing those issues, they took the easy way out of just having you get plopped out front. Since those issues are still not fixed, and they clearly have no intention of ever fixing them, it's pretty much a sure thing that we'll never see the old system return.
