It was probably an old idea from various manufacturers, probably thinking that operators would leave the machines set to 'pause' for long periods rather than using the actual 'stop' button, perhaps the thinking was to avoid folk stressing the machine. Another example is the Collaro Tape Transcriptor that just has a lever that you have to hold.
