I would recommend finding the loose connection or adjusting the switch, not taking it out of the system.
I have mine connected & it works fine for 6 years..... How many times did I try and take off with the side stand down.... about 10 times. Maybe saved me from a trip to the hospital maybe 1 or twice.
Believe it or not, there was a time when side stands didn't have switches. I have no idea how we survived all those years.

We didn't have clutch switches either. All part of the dumbing down of everything.

Easiest solution to them trying to "idiotproof" everything: Don't let idiots operate it.

Maybe two words, mel....

lawyers and dumb juries. I'd throw some judges in there too, but in reality a judge is just a lawyer on the tax payer dole.
