Honestly, you don't have to create a kill switch. Most stuff will fall apart due to dependency on manual intervention. Usually because there isn't enough staff to automate it. Tech debt comes for everyone.

Ab-so-fucking-lutely.

For a job that requires a lot of reminding people "that's not your laptop, that's the companies' laptop", a lot of people get awful invested in "their servers". Just let it go.

I know their business decision, however misguided, was very personal. Prove their mistake, which they will never know or care about, by moving on to the next job. Not by trying to be the sub-villain in a B-movie.
