Poor placement, difficult to use, awkward, etc., it is still a functional safety, should I choose to use it.

I think that is the crux of the matter for some of us. The lever, knob, button, slider, whatever may be in a bad spot, it may work the "wrong" way, it may take both hands to work it, it may be a lot of less than the best things, but if it is there, we feel better about the gun.
