I don't think the switch just applies the parkbrake in an emergency. Can you imagine an electric parkbrake locking up the rear wheels with no modulation possible?
Appling the parkbrake switch in many cars at speed above about 8 mph actually applies the hydraulic brakes on ALL wheels to slow the car quickly and safely to a stop.
Great aid for a medical emergency, especially for a passenger.
