Power to sunroof sometimes cuts off immediately after ignition off

I often drive with the sunroof open, and I usually forget to close it before I park.

I noticed that about half the time the sunroof has power after you turn off the ignition, but often it doesn't, or not long enough to close it all the way. It's very annoying. The TSX lets you close all the windows with the key as well, but not the sunroof, unlike VW. At the very least I would expect the power to the sunroof to act consistently.

My Accord had the same problem and I didn't expect to find this on the TSX as well. Anyone else notice that?

I know on some cars the accessory power stays on after ignition off for 30 seconds or until you open a door. Maybe that's it?

I skimmed it but didn't see that part. Why would the power go out when you open the door??

Because why would you need the power if you were getting out?

Because you're like me and you realize you forgot to close the sunroof after you've aleady started getting out.

Would be nice if you could close the sunroof with the remote lock button too. You can close the windows, why not the roof.
