Why does the game keep the item you escaped with active?

This is something that bothers me. If you escape with an item, the game keeps it equipped. It's freaking annoying and just got me killed. I escaped with a key, which I never use, but it stayed active and the killer brought a mori specifically for me.

This is especially annoying since I rarely play survivor and all killer items are lost, so I don't think to check my loadout.
