Sometime in the 80's they stopped doing this. I assume they were keyed separately so that the manufacturers could make starters and door locks separately.
This is also why we still say, "Could I have the Keys to the car?" And not "Key" to the car. Although, cars no longer have a "set of keys", it is still a phrase used in the language.
