All other electrics are protected by fuses, so if there's physical damage to another component which would cause a short, its fuse protected so the fuse blows.
HOWEVER: the alternator and starter are NOT!
So physical damage to those causing a short would start a fire or battery explosion. Thats the reason for this device, so its function makes perfect sense from an engineering pov.
