Is this mandatory? What does this Kill Switch do/prevent?

It gives apple the power to remotely disable 'malicious' applications.

speaking of which, why do I still have my iPhone lightsaber app running eventhough apple took it off the store for copyright issues and could, or so it seems, "kill it" remotely???

That would be an abuse of the power. Apple doesn't need anymore bad press. Same reason tris still works.
