OK, I've got a silly question. Why does moving the battery to the trunk position necessitate having a cut-off switch?

I can see that having a switch to shut off power is a good safety idea. So wouldn't it also be a good idea with the battery under the hood?

What is it about moving the battery back that makes it a rule to have the cutoff switch?

NHRA/IHRA rule. The factory doesnt see the need for
a master switch(cost and stupid people)they would
forget its there, plus now days alot of stuff is still
on the battery.. even when the ignition is off
