I've heard if you lightly apply the brake pedal at a stop it wont shut off the engine.

Cant personally confirm it though.
I haven’t noticed the s*** off too terribly. But then I’ve only had it less than a week!

Honestly I've never driven anything that had it, but we have several 2018 & up f150s in our fleet at work. Some complain about it, but most dont mind. My company truck is a 2014 so I dont have a dog in this fight:).

You are correct. It monitors the brake system to make sure you are applying enough pressure to keep the vehicle stopped.
It also looks at steering angle. If your wheels are turned a bit, it won't engage.

I find by the time I let off the brake and get back on the gas, the engine is running again. Not much of a delay.
