Given the frequency with which holograms ran amuck, seems prudent to have as much separation as possible between critical functions and the holodeck. From a military-readyiness perspective, that jlso seems like that would put you at an enormous disadvantage if all of your controls were dependent upon the (presumably) high power draw of the holodeck. Physical controls that do not disappear in the midst of an already bad situation seems best.
