I'm pretty sure that there is no latch release - no lever you grab to unlatch the hatch.
In other cars, there is a lever you pull to open the hatch, just like for a door. If the door or hatch is locked, hitting the lever does no good.
On the 9-5 (and on later model 9000's before it) there is no latch release. When you hit the button, the hatch unlatches. It is now Open, and will flap in the breeze until somebody closes it.
So if the hatch unlatched when you opened the car, you'd have to slam the hatch shut every time before driving off. Now, that would be nasty.
Your question might better be, "Why don't they have a hatch release lever?"
