I can’t speak to WHY the switch is there but there has to be a "valid" reason. There's no logical reason gor the manufacturer to spend the money gor a switch,bthe electrical wire terminals, and the labor just to "get their jollys by messing with people". I can’t find any logic in the theory that it's there to keep you from forgetting and burning up the element. As the switch doesn’t automatically turn off the only time that would prevent forgetfullness would be the initial use as There's nothing to make you remember to turn it off.

Fortunately our unit has 2 switches inside, 1 for gas, 1 for electric. So I just consider it another one of the "quirks " to deal with on an RV.
