> Doesn’t it seem reasonable to you to design and engineer cherry pickers such that the bucket can’t be moved unless a safety harness is attached?

No - that seems unreasonable too, as there's no reasonable way for the cherry picker to know if the harness is being worn by anyone, so it's just safety theater.

Combine it with immediately firing anyone caught attaching an empty harness to a cherry picker and the cherry picker can be reasonably sure that the harness is worn by someone.
