Yes, if you are stopping at night in the remote regions of a shopping center parking lot, or some other potentially dangerous place, it is generally not the safest thing to automatically unlock all the doors when you put the transmission into park. I believe the current idea is that the doors should not unlock unless you specifically do an action to make them unlock.
I know if I stop at a virtually deserted gasoline station at 3 AM in the Morning for gasoline, I would rather not have all four doors unlock when I put my vehicle into Park.
