That's what I read elsewhere and thought well if it causes confusion it's silly. It needs to be a big switch with a lock cap that says "emergency power off" or similar.
Software isn't always the answer. When visiting factories I see numerous machines demonstrated to me, usually CNC machines, or feeders for them, or robots with functions on large touch screens or keyboards to turn them on or off and to get them to do their stuff.
They all have one feature in common though, a huge physical red stop button (sometimes under a clear plastic flap to prevent accidental nudging).
