> Unless it's a physical bounce switch that actually disconnects power mechanically

That's literally what you're looking at.

The schmitt-trigger and the DFFs debounce the switch in hardware, and then the FET that controls the power input to the microphone also controls the power input to the LED. What do you want, a relay?

Firmware can only reset the DFFs (which does turn on the microphone), but it can't change the physically coupled LED / mic-power behavior.
