Why can jets and helicopters do a midair refuel with their engines running while cars and trucks are supposed to turn their engines off when getting gas or diesel?

You can refuel with an engine running. It’s just out of a concern for theft mostly. Modern cars have a near zero chance of igniting the fuel being pumped in. Kinda why fuel tanks don’t explode. That said sparks from static can cause the fuel to ignite so touching your door as you get out is a good idea.
