As the video linked to above confirms, we have been blessed with the presence of this safety device (emergency engine shut-off switch) by a decree of a regulator at the time and place where most (if not all) motorcycles had the ignition lock located on the frame instead of on the handlebar, so that it was indeed hard to get to in certain situations, most notably when the bike was flat on the ground on its left side. On a bike with ignition lock on handlebars the utility of the device is questionable.
Whether the switch is designed for the same number of duty cycles as the ignition lock switch is a question that only the bike manufacturer can answer, an only for a particular make/model.
