So much for being a sealed switch, not sealed very well if it allowing grease in.

Ok so the switch must be internally cut, removed or track trace cut since it is normally closed (in the released state).

If the switch removed, it would be normally open, wouldn't it? Then removing the switches would be the same as keeping the switches pressed all the time.

Yes switch removed would be open circuit, which is equivalent to pressing the switch.
