This seems a way of making sure that a future with Switzerland being part of the EU requires a vote to adopt the Euro. I do not see many other situations in which Switzerland changes its central bank or currency.

Switzerland can't join the EU without a referendum anyway, I don't think that's realistic anyway. The prevailing juristic opinion seems to be that changing away from the franc would have required a referendum because while it wasn't explicitly defined it was referenced a bunch of times.

The concern was about CBDC and "cashless", the original initiative comes from a conspiracy-adjecent group. They just kind of failed of doing anything major about it, the initiative was worded badly. The counter proposal was explicitly a symbolic copy paste with no real effect.
