Some already do and have been commercially available for some time.
You'are also right about attention. Angle grinder demands total attention. It's not a good tool for day dreamers(which I am sometime).
It's better to practice the imagination game of the mind without an angle grinder or a circular saw in my hand.
But, are you guys also aware it is NO rocket science to integrate a simple braking mechanism to bigger ones like 230mm? I reckon they haven't done that 'cos there can be concerns about the wheel stopping too quickly when the switch is released, depending on the grinding job(particularly the cutting disc jobs). Chainsaws already have that braking mechanism and a damn good idea considering the job they do, but the circular saw doesn't. All for reasons I reckon. I'm just bit late at picking up I reckon.
