Well, it's a very simple construction, most tractors does have electric engagement of PTO and it's the same principle, so the cost of having a lot more safety and ease of use is quite low.
But maybe it's very little new thinking on those small tractors.
Even my Kioti CUT which has electric engagement of the 4WD with a simple rocker switch on the dash does not engage the 4WD by pushing on the brake pedals, even though there is a microswitch on the brake pedals that lights a light on the dash when the brake pedals are engaged and the parking "pawl" lever is engaged. So 90 percent of the hardware is already there, but it does not have that feature like the big tractors do.
