Its theoretically needed cuz it decreases the gennys charge rate in the LOW charge position so the battery dont overcharge n boil over or outgas. If its a complete open circuit (but actual resistive wire could still be intact regardless if other mounting physical stuff is flaking) it wouldnt charge at all in the Low charge setting. If the switch was always left in the HIGH charge the battery could overcharge.... (but see my HOWEVER below)

HOWEVERRRRRRRRRRR I seldom ever (actually never I can recall) had one of those older 3 brush gennys harm or overcharge a battery as the lights may have been used time to time or periods of operation werent hours on end and those gennys werent super high chargers to begin with

i.e If the gennys Field was permanently dead grounded and the Low charge switch field resistor was never used, the risk of overcharging isnt all that great in my opinion HOWEVER if that field resistor is totally open she wouldnt charge at all in the Low Charge setting
