The trouble is that it's widespread over the internet, so everyone thinks it's okay to use even though it isn't. Bit like the kitchen jokes.

I thought it was shut down after Abe threw that switch right before entering the boardroom, and that with Molluck out of commission and all the workers freed, the place just fell into disarray on it's own. Anyone who has worked in a factory can tell you the negative impacts of abruptly halting assembly line machinery, especially with no workers to make repairs and turn it back on. No magic required.

I always thought that simply pulling the switch to shut it down and then watching everything switch off never seemed like a permanent way to stop the factory forever. Maybe the cut scene of the factory halting should include some machinery breaking from being stopped suddenly just to show that you obviously broke stuff. A tiny little detail, but may make a difference.
EDIT: For example conveyors suddenly ceasing (rather than slowing down), carcasses backing up and falling off the sides of the conveyors, meat grinders stopping while cutting discs are inside carcasses that are still moving along a (different) conveyor, pulling them over in a shower of sparks and twisted metal - That sort of thing.
