They were thinking about protecting human life.

For example, people with cheapskate landlords who would be happy to leave a nonfunctional smoke detector that was muted installed rather than spend $20.

I'm not saying you should be able to permanently mute them; just for, say, 15 minutes per button press.

Also, cheapskate landlords would just take the battery out.
