My point is that putting trust in a switch is a surprisingly deep subject. For instance, it's hard (and expensive) to mechanically switch high speed USB while retaining the proper electrical characteristics needed by the transmission lines.

That seems an extremely odd statement to make, but let's assume it's true: Then just make it an easily-accessible cable. Or leave it as an optional accessory, which is what everyone would have preferred in the first place.
Don't get stuck in the mode of thinking you must design the solution to fit arbitrary requirements already decided upon. Those requirements aren't merely the source of the problem, they are the problem, and they're causing Microsoft to deliberately put its customers at risk.
