It's an option... but they are choosing to not go through the hassle of hooking it up.
Claim they never use the rear brake w/o the front.

Huh... interesting. Mine are all more simple than that. Just remove the stock pegs and bolt on rear-sets. There was one "complicated" part that was a tiny little secure clip that had to be put on with dental tools. But, that was it. Electrical for the brake is not with the pedal. And, if I want to go to GP Shift, it's one bolt.

Not that I want you to wreck again, but I'd like to know how those rearsets hold up in a crash before I decide to take that route over woodcraft/sato/gilles/etc

Yup, don't need it.

There should be a spring running to a wire that has a plunger like switch that sends the signal to the light.

Plunger is on the bottom... it's all contained. Just remove the old, and bolt on the new.

yeah you have a different style hook up then a lot of bikes. Yours is actually a button, not a plunger. I have a spring that attaches under the brake lever that pulls the plunger. It's not attached to the actual braking mechanism.

Kawiforums discusses these somewhat extensively (for a niche manu anyway) and there are guys on there who crashed. Check there if you want the skinny on crashing with them.
