The cruise control system is capable of opening the throttles at any time, quite regardless of the intentions of the driver, thus placing those within the vehicle as well as anyone in front, in grave danger.
A momentary switch energises circuitry which is self locking and can be self unlocking. The system is arranged so as to be fail safe in the event of any fault and this could very well be dependant on the circuitry being able to self unlock. An on/off switch would defeat such an arrangement.
I may not be correct in my analysis, but if is very likely correct. I feel obliged to point out the risks involved in messing with existing arrangements.
