Tonight I was maybe 5 metres away from my mk8, which was unlocked. When my cousin walked past and pressed the unlock button for her mk7 it made my car's interior lights turn on. She reckons she's had this happen with other Golfs.
Golf VIII R-Line MY21.5 fully loaded – sunroof, sound & vision package (head-up display + Harman/Kardon stereo), Pomelo Yellow premium metallic (a.k.a. Lime Yellow in most markets) – ordered 18/3/21, delivered 17/8/21.
Previous VW group cars: Golf VII Comfortline DSG MY15.5 pacific blue; Golf IV Sport MY04 reflex silver with sunroof; Golf III CL bahama blue; Audi A4 MY95 tornado red; Porsche 928S3 MY85 guards red with sunroof.
Mk8 should be using a newer more secure way that keys communicate with the car from mk7. What you describe sounds concerning to be honest I would demonstrate this to your dealer if true.
Mk8 r has a feature where the car can light up the surrounding area when approaching but not sure if that is interior lights
