Default Inline On/Off switch?

Pulled out my Necchi BU and fixed her yesterday. Plugging and unplugging whenever I left the machine made me curious. So many of these older machines with "tails" cannot stay plugged in, the motors or foot controls get really hot (and hazardous) if left on. Yes, the light switches on and off, but not the motor!

Has anyone heard of or tried an inline on/off switch? My hanging light, dehydrator, and some other appliances have them. Is there a reason they would not be a good idea?
