JohnFTEng asked yesterday -

'On most consumer appliances there is an interlock that prevents operation when casing is open. On a highly automated machine like an Airbus why is there nothing similar - Fan cowl unlocked > start-up inhibited?'

One more level of complication - well intended as it is = one or more failure modes that could affect propulsion.
