Sorry, but this is nonsense. The EPB most certainly operates in gear. I use mine all the time at the lights so I can take my foot off the brake. It also has a hill control feature that holds the car on a hill for several seconds with your foot off the brake pedal.
I'm also one who applies the EPB before shifting to park.

Hill Control assist is done with the ABS brake pump

If you open the drivers door you can hear the EPB whether it is engaging and disengaging...do it in a quite spot....like in your garage or on your driveway.
