Even the cheapest bench tools have this switch, for safety.
Actual that is a nice feature for safety but most tools here in the US don't bother as it is not required. Commerical equipment may or may not be equipped with "drop out switches", I know when I worked for a major company it was required on our lab tools but I have also been in some small woodworking shops where they have consumer tools......
