In the probability puzzle, the chance to switch is part of the basis of the puzzle. It is always offered.
In the actual game show, the rules were more flexible. The OP article mentions this. For example, the host could "offer the contestant cash NOT to switch." That introduces a more psychological poker-like aspect, but that example still allows for switching and doesn't change the underlying probabilities.
