Only problem was this program, and most others, that have inputs would almost rarely be used for batch mode, so it would be dangerous to apply changes to programs and potentially add in bugs just in case you might need to use it in batch mode in the future.
It would be far easier if the functionality would have been implemented into UV as it was in PI. As for programming all programs that have inputs to also check for active select lists, I wouldn't blanket all, because there are many programs that I would never ever want to run accidentally with an active select list. At least with the VOC method, you are actively typeing it in, so it not an accident that it would run that way. I agree, if this is a case where in the future, we would need to batch run the program on a more frequent basis, then the programming change for that one would be the better choice.
