There are many non-switching pieces that also can't mate, though--and by your suggested definition of 'switching', there are many switching pieces (though not *color*-switching pieces) that can.
And Betza lists both can't-mate and color-switching as *separate* weaknesses in his list (IV&PV part 4).
So I still can't figure out why anyone believes that color-switching is a weakness, as opposed to merely an interesting trait.
