Glad the latter does not design rockets, planes and cars.

Not sure if you are being sarcastic, but they do design cars. Aren't tesla menus full of those kind of toggles?

Yes they are, but the labels don't change when the setting is toggled.

It says what it is, and the toggle says if it's on or off.

The toggle is just a visual, it can be tapped just like a checkbox.
