Why do car doors have a half-closed state

It’s very annoyng when a car door doesnt close properly, and I think it could be avoided with a better locking mechanism. Why is it that most doors can close at once but car doors are more complicated?

Car door locks are designed to keep the door shut during an accident for safety. They are pretty heavy duty and that’s why they require a small amount of force to engage properly
