Probably a design issue where they couldn't hook into one of the car's systems? I'm not sure.

Their current cars are just temporary anyways. Jaguar doesn't even make them any more - they stopped producing the model that Waymo uses at the end of 2024.

They're currently partnering with Zeekr to build a brand new one. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waymo_Ojai

They could have run a whole ass extra wire to the trunk release button input if they wanted to, they just didn't want to.

But I like how friend-shaped that Zeekr is.
