Current propagates at the speed of light in the conductor. It really doesn’t matter which side the switch is on at human timescales
The convention puts them on the positive side; people who understand the convention is [mostly] wrong put it on the negative side, but it doesn’t matter
I’m confused are you saying that negative voltage is more deadly than negative voltage? Just because electrons flow from negative to positive doesn’t mean it’s any more dangerous what moves the electrons is the voltage potential. If you were able to have electrons flow from a source through you to the ground your just as able to have electrons flow from the ground through you to a positive voltage source.
You sent me down a rabbit hole wondering if AC batteries are a thing, and apparently they are! I’m still not sure if any of the sources I found are scams, but they seem to be physically plausible. Interesting!
Switching the low side can also be dangerous in high-energy systems because the live conductor is always in circuit even when the unit is switched off. Switching in the high side ensures power is removed when the unit is switched off.
Most circuit diagrams do not draw current flowing in any direction at all. It’s just labeled + and -. I don’t see anything wrong with this.
Logically the switch comes before the bulb.

That depends, do you want high or a low side switch? There are valid reasons for either depending on what you’re doing.
One that is less likely to kill me. Low side switches leave a “floating” load at the supply voltage that could leak to ground
I’ve left a floating load that leaked to the ground before.

They just don’t know what they’re talking about. Mistook it for AC, where one usually wants the switch on the phase side.
I don’t. But these guys do

I don’t see any mosfets here
Why do they put MCBs on live instead of neutral?

there are no ac batteries by definiton
That certainly agrees with what I know, this is interesting though

I’m saying there is more shock risk…

But the current doesn’t care
