What is the context of the original image?

Could be simply a way to make sure the button never moves again. I would have simply taken out the knob, personally.

I work on industrial controls. Very likely that the switch is momentary, meaning it'll go back when released.

Sometimes there's a little piece of plastic in them to remove the momentary setting, but this works too lol. Fuck it, it's maintenance.

Still kind of an overkill solution, but at least it's funny
