If you're thinking of C/C++ switch statements and everyone that blindly copied them (looking at you Java, JS and PHP), you're right, but Go's switch is much more flexible (https://gobyexample.com/switch).

PHP tried to correct the mistake of not giving some more thought to the switch statement at the beginning by including a new "match" expression in PHP 8 - fun times for everyone who used classes called "Match"...

Nowadays Java and C# switch are almost as powerful as Standard ML match.

It's still a rock. Play with a language with proper pattern matching, Rust, Haskell, Ocaml, Scala, and you will also see it's just a rock.
