I am also firmly against turning on aircraft to aircraft collisions.

As a long-hour ATC I really got p. (sorry) mad about those planes
popping up on the active during heavy traffic - but it is also obvious
that this happens mostly because of just following the default - as

Engine on/off is a decision that it doesn't make sense leaving to
