Not necessary in newer cars.
I find it’s more important than with older cars. The operating system needs to fire up and initialize before the backup camera is activated, or it gets all fricky.

Was always told that a few seconds are needed for oil to properly spread. Once all the bells and lights on dash panel are done your good to go. Newer car doesn’t matter oil is still a fluid and gravity still works the same.

My step-dad turns off the A/C, turns off the radio, turns off the auto lights, and lifts up the steering wheel

If it is really cold out yes. Gives the oil a chance to loosen up a bit and get flowing. When its warm out, not so much.

Coming up on 6 years and I still get blowies from time to time, so no complaints other than those stated previously

Modern vehicles go through an preprogrammed ignition sequence with RPMs being higher immediately upon starting and then dropping towards the engine’s idle RPM level.
You don’t want to shift the transmission into reverse or drive until the RPMs drop to that idle level (usually 3-5 seconds).
From a safety standpoint, the same 3-5 seconds is prudent to wait before moving the vehicle to make one more eye pass around through the mirrors and see if the sound of ignition startled anyone or anything.

I remote start it from the house so the seats heat up or cool off.

Definitely different wife but would be glad to swap for a period of time.

I think a lot of things like this are vestiges of old cars where manufacturing standards were much lower than they are today. I've never seen anything about waiting to drive on a modern car.
Except modern vehicles place more demand on the oil system than older ones. Vehicles with active variable camshaft timing almost all use hydraulic pressure tapped from the oil system. Some are known to have high failure rates because the oil pumps can't supply the proper volume of oil, especially when thin 5W-20 oils are spec'd and in high ambient temperatures. My smaller truck, with 5W-30 Mobil 1 oil, starts with nearly 80 PSI oil pressure at idle when cold. That will drop to around 15 - 20 PSI at idle when fully warmed up. That vehicle has a variable volume oil pump though which is increasingly common. My older truck with an standard oil pump will see idle of 35 psi on the 5W-30 M1 and 40 psi on 10W-30 M1 warmed up. IMO I won't use less than a 5W-30 in any modern engine year round and 10W-30 in a V8.

And my wife (no pics) can’t even turn off a light before leaving a room.

She can turn one off when entering a room just fine....

Women are hard on cars. Does she do the jack rabbit stops and starts too?
