Since I'm a "cash" customer, it depends. If I'm by myself, the keys come out, but if I have passengers, they usually remain in place.

"Since when does a car thief need keys? A car thief will simply tow/flatbed a car out of your driveway as happened to my cousin once."
That is quite rare, but, yes, it happens, but not for your run-of-the-mill compact, family sedan, or mini-van, usually it is something like a Mustang of a collectible year, or other car that can be flipped for a fairly large bag of bucks.
I kind of doubt that happens often while you are at the service station getting a fill.

Since you choose to cavalierly dismiss an exhaustive study on gas station fires because the results don't fit your pre-conceived prejudices, then there is not much to discuss here.
In any case the cited reference is not mine, it was posted up by someone else. The only point I'm arguing is vehicle fires at gas pumps caused by static is not supported by the posted reference.

"The data source does not cite hot exhaust as an ignition source."
It isn't my fault your sources of information are incomplete.
The NFPA list turning off the engine while refueling #1 on the list of service station safety tips. It isn't just to annoy people.
The gas safety page on the explosion victims website posts this: "Always turn off your vehicle before fueling up. Your engine can cause sparks or intense heat which can ignite gasoline on the ground or nearby."
Gasoline fumes travel along the ground, and are invisible. That red hot muffler or exhaust pipe is plenty hot enough to ignite those fumes, and you have a possibly devastating and deadly fire. Turning the car off before pumping, believe it or not, allows that exhaust, while still hot, to cool by several hundred degrees, below the threshold that ignites those fumes.
It should also be basic knowledge that sparks ignite gasoline, and fumes. Under the hood are countless possibilities for a random spark. A slight wear in a plug wire or coil wire, battery cable, alternator, radiator fan switch, air conditioning or lighting relay, and so on.
Spark plus fumes = BOOM!
