It's a place that only you would ever reach while driving, so no chance of someone else knocking/using it, or damaging anything, etc.

Those plastic pieces around your steering column come off fairly easily, usually, and it'd be a great place to mount it where it won't get bumped/used accidentally.
Having it on the shifter makes you not have to move your hand around as much I suppose. When you kill the engine, you shift to neutral right away so IMO it makes sense to have there. I suppose its lazyness, but thats kind of what this mod is all about anyways.
