Question A320 Autothrust

Hello

if you keep the "instinctive a/thr disconnect p/b" pressed for more than 15 seconds, autothrust will be unavailable for the rest of flight (irreversible action).

Now my question is: why has Airbus implemented this feature?
Is there any abnormal condition (of the A/THR) that dictates the use of this option?

thanks
