Why aren't Hazard buttons always lit?

The fog/headlights thread got me thinking. I've noticed that the Hazard button on the dashboard of my car isn't lit at night (when I have my headlights on). Why not?

Granted, if the car dies because of certain electrical faults, the button may not be lit in time of emergency. But how often do you hit your Hazards? I can't recall exactly where the button is in the 4 or so cars I cycle between on a semi-regular basis. Particularly in the dark. And when you need your Hazards, you need 'em quick. Seems like that should be one thing you shouldn't be fumbling for in the dark.
