It's purpose seems to be to keep you from fully depressing the trigger, and while the design, in a striker-fired weapon, is going to help keep the trigger bar (as in the M&P) from moving the striker block by itself, I don't see the contribution.

If the trigger safety isn't disengaged then the trigger can't be pulled to move the trigger bar. Conversely, the trigger bar can't move unless the trigger safety is disengaged.
So if you think about that in the terms of a drop test and a failed or malfunctioning striker block, the trigger safety will still prevent the trigger bar from moving and the striker from being released. I suppose there is some formula in spring weight to safety weight that prevents the safety itself from inertial movement.
