I'm not sure why anyone would design it like that. I would expect it to be linked to the brake handles, not active at all times.

    No one would do that. On mine it's a switch but most are wired to the brakes as you mentioned. The main benefit is really just that you get brakes for free without any wear, though it is only generally possible on direct drive hub motors.
