For the once the "They all do that sir" bit is pretty accurate. I don't like it, & if waiting at a pelican crossing say, where you know you won't be stationary for too long, I do hold the clutch in, whereas previously I'd happily have selected neutral. It's how they are, as were the K1200/1300 range.
I do something similar. I actually come to a stop in 1st gear. Pull the clutch in. Hit the kill switch. release clutch. When the lights go amber, clutch in (still in 1st), hit the start button and ease out the clutch. My manual Stop / Start system works well.
