I'm not about to claim to have driven every car on the market, but in every automatic I have driven it's not that hard to switch from D to N. (For safety reasons you must depress the brake before shifting into and out of Park and Reverse, but all other gears can be engaged without use of brakes.)

Maybe some cars have a safety lock to prefect accidental disengagement while driving at higher speeds, but if that's the case I think the maker is making a mistake.
