What is the true purpose of the CW/SSB switch on many of the older linear amps ?

Was it simply to ensure that you stayed within the old power INPUT regulations 
when in CW mode, or is there some other good technical reason ?

 Obviously the reason I'm asking is that I can't see a good technical reason 
for the switch.  Actually I see good reasons for not having it but I need 
someone to verify my understanding.  (I wasn't planning on having one on the 
4-1000 amp I'm building).
