It's cultural, check boxes come from boring and usually not greatly designed universe of Windows and Linux desktops, toggles come from immediacy of iOS devices.
I know I'm old but I still see light switches all around me. Doesn't anyone flip them anymore?
It's cultural but this has nothing to do with Windows, Linux, and iOS. You flip a switch, the light comes on immediately. This is about the immediacy of switches, not iOS devices.
