E30 fuel pump priming

[zaq123]

OK so we know e30 was designed to prime only when the engine is cranking/running.
Is it only for safety (stopped engine/ignition is still ON)? Any other reasons? Any reason to keep that setup if the safety aspect is addressed?
My ECU can be set to work as OEM design or prime on every IGN ON. It also has a safety featured to cut the fuel off if the engine stops regardless of the key position.

Right now it's set to prime and I hear a lot of gurgling going on in there tank from the return pipe for a sec or two as system keeps the pressure when the car is off by the design.

I'm on jakeb Classic Daily's PNP. My fuel pump primes when I turn the key in the 2nd position before cranking.

It may have been for a safety reason but any aftermarket should also be able to prime for a set amount of time e.g. 3 sec or whatever to build pressure as the fuel pressure will not be maintained indefinitely (even if one inserts as many check valves as one likes) and the engine wont start reliably over the long term
