I think they did it for legal reasons. Shor-nuff' some knot head will/would have a "Darwin Moment" and stuff it in something (pocket/purse) and snag the trigger on something. This way S&W is covered. I don't have safeties on any of my other FS M&P's and wouldn't have them with them. However,on the Shield (being that small),it is handy. It's positive on or positive off and sits tight against the side.
