$10 says a future win10 update includes a killswitch. If it hasn't already

Killswitches are useful. Windows does not feature useful things. Am I missing something?

Explain how a killswitch that let's MS remotely disable your system is useful for anyone but MS.

I guess that is what I missed. I thought this was like the killswitch on those degoogled phones. I have been meaning to switch my last computer off Windows. Gotta build my DietPi server first though.
