Yeah, at always off they would have fixed it, but probably not added a manual override. Just repaired and sent out the same way.

And it's good that they bothered with safety, because they didn't really think all of it through when they designed it.

It's a design flaw, sure, but for the design they did, it makes sense to default to 'always on'.
If default was 'always off' then there would be no way to turn the lights on at all. Which would mean lights out until a service tech could get out there.
Having it be 'always on' means you can still use the breakers to turn them off, so at least there is a way.

In the article, It is mentioned that they preferred female pronouns when in drag and male pronouns when not in drag.
