John Denver would have wanted one.
IIRC, John Denver unfortunately didn’t have enough altitude when fuel starvation left him likely trying to switch tanks, with a difficult to reach fuel selector valve.
The builder/pilot he bought the plane from put it out of the way intentionally. Practicing familiarity with operating that valve quickly possibly would have kept the engine from dying, and John as well.

The people most likely to be killed while flying are those who can afford the plane but are not professional pilots. It’s not like driving a car. You actually need to know the theory and what do when stuff doesn’t work like it’s supposed to. Pilots spend hundreds of hours in simulators because this is their job. They aren’t surgeons who just happen to have the money and a free weekend.
Lately, some of the big accidents have been caused by software intended to help the pilot. Bet this thing is loaded with software to keep it stable. But then a bird lands on one part...
