Oh yeah how bout this.  Our 84 f250 with an auto on the column, has one of these buttons?  Doesnt make sense.  All of our cars have the hole in the column cover for the button if you havn't looked. 

88turbo was right.  Think of this, your cruising down the road and floor it to pass someone.  The throttle sticks and your first instinct is to turn the car off.  Well now here comes a big ass corner and you can't steer the car.  Your f'd.  I'de keep mine in place if I had one.

That button has fooled a lot of people in my car.  They always feel dumb for not being able to get the key out.  My '90 XR7 wouldn't start unless you had your foot on the brake.  Another weird idea from Ford.

My '75 Pinto wouldn't start unless the seat belt was buckled.
This feature was easily disabled by unplugging a connector under the seat.
