Man, I really half-assed that post. Sorry.
That clutch interlock is critical with push-button start because it just cranks away on its own. With a key, you can let go quickly if the car lurches in gear.
When I was a kid I witnessed my dad effortlessly drive home after his clutch cable broke. I've used that trick a few times as an adult. I'm kind of attached to that ability. Mostly sentimental, I guess.
