Of course not. The post you're replying to explicitly said the discussion was off-topic. That means it's not discussing the point of the article.

> In an actual UI, you will have labels or indicators telling you what the toggle means and what the options are

If it only were that way, we wouldn't complain. But it's not.

> checkbox without labels is equally bad UX

Of course, I agree. But nobody asked for that.

Your post ignores the things that were said and replies to things that were not said.
