I have ALWAYS wondered this.
Also, you can be disabled enough that pumping gas in extreme heat or extreme cold is a real stressor for you, but driving isn't. Or, if you had a broken leg, knee surgery, etc. To say that if you can't pump gas you shouldn't be driving just isn't very realistic. As I watched my mom's slow progression of emphysema, I understood.
That splashback trigger works when I fill up the plastic gas jug for the lawn mower and makes me crazy. It seems to do it as soon as the tip of the nozzle is immersed in gas, but the jug will be far from full, so I have to hold it so the nozzle is barely in there. I figured it was an air pressure thing. Once the nozzle is surrounded by liquid, no more gas can come out so it kicks off.
