I have no issues with seat switches, but I would like to expand on the topic. I grew up on a farm and was taught to drive a tractor way before I was taught to drive a car. I was not the only child around the community plowing at 9/10 years old either. Same thing with handling guns or anything else dangerous. Kids need teaching and not just turned loose. We didn't have a riding mower when I was growing up. I did it all with a push mower, but you can bet I was taught not to stick my hands and feet near the blades. I was also taught to remove the sparkplug wire before cleaning out the underneath.
I really think knowledge is what's missing from our youth and I lay that at the parents feet. All the switches in the world can't totally dummy proof everything made.
But in answer to your question, A seat switch should be left alone and not be tinkered with.
