The plastic that ICS uses is very soft, and can be "worn out" or deformed by the semi-auto cut-off bar. A better switch made with a more durable plastic is the answer.

And no, switch contacts don't arc when using a FET. There's not enough energy (voltage x current) present to form or sustain an arc when driving the gate of a FET. Electricity 101 my friend.
