Wow, this thread went off the rails really quickly. I apologize to the OP for the abysmal behavior of the forum members here.
The value of the mag disconnect is irrelevant. The value of the thumb safety is irrelevant. What is relevant is what the OP wants. Yes, you can add a thumb safety to any M&P and you can add a mag disconnect. The only issue is how much work are you willing to put in?
To add a thumb safety all you need is the right sear block and associated springs. All recently made M&Ps already have the frame cut to receive the thumb safety.
To add a mag disconnect all you need is the lever and a small spring.
All these parts can be had here:

Sorry Erik, but your premise is faulty. You're correct that Glock doesn't make a gun chambered in .22LR. However, there are several makers of slides and barrels chambered for .22LR and they will cost much less than an M&P 22. So, in fact, it's cheaper to buy a Glock and then a slide/barrel to install on the Glock.

You know nothing about women if you think it's easier to change a woman's mind than build a gun from scratch.
