Yes, NFC requires you to hold your phone up to it, just like if you're using it to pay for something. Comfort Access is easier, yes, but I imagine the idea behind it is so you aren't stranded if you lose your key, or don't want to carry around a key at all, in which case taking out your phone is probably a worthy tradeoff. In fairness, the majority of people are on their phones every 6 seconds, so it wouldn't be a big deal. I take my phone out of my pocket whenever I get in the car anyway, so it wouldn't bother me.
