You are not everyone. Just because you think it's better doesn't mean it actually is. Most of the time when I want to disconnect from Wifi, it's a temporary measure because the network I'm connected to is slow or dead. I imagine it's the same for many others.
Apple is notoriously allergic to putting toggles for every little thing, and that shouldn't be a surprise to software developers. We all know every user-configurable setting increases complexity.

They can also mean the difference between a tool and a toy or even worse, a slave collar.
One of the good practices in programming is to not hardcode things. Where that is followed, often the hardest part about configurability is the UI for it, since under the hood it's already determined by a bunch of variables anyway, and it's mostly a matter of exposing them nicely to the user.
Besides, it's way more complex to have a timed toggle than just a toggle.
"you people" -- you don't know the first thing about me. And this argument to excuse to treat adult consumers like infants, and use the people that don't mind as the measure all other adults have to reduce themselves to, is used for a lot more than just a wifi toggle.
If you want to have a disconnect button, add as another button choice to the panel. Even make it default. But the original button shouldn't have been broken with no recourse.
Not to mention, some brief wordy nearby text display in tiny print after the fact, is the opposite of clear.
