There could be reasons other than death preventing you from accessing the system to update this though. Stranded somewhere, power outage, unexpectedly arrested and incarcerated, medical emergency, etc.
Yeah, so you set the number of hours with that in mind. Not every 12h, something like every 240h so that there's time to adjust or make a phone call.
These are all situations that you would want to alert your loved ones though. And the power outage one will probably be solved faster than your switch hopefully.
Then the switch only serves to notify your loved ones that you're having an emergency. What if the switch is to, say, leak some documents to the public? You can't take that back so presumably you only want to do it after you die.
