Its a superconducting magnet that cannot be instantly shut off. I am sorry that the physics of this makes you so angry.

Couple things:

The magnet is ALWAYS on.

The “kill switch” takes about five minutes to actually deactivate the magnet and it costs about thirty grand in helium every time you push it.

Big time.

This is what capitalism does. A constant battle of finding the lowest quality to price ratio. Everything will naturally gravitate to the shitiest cheapest version of itself.
